Subtle Date Problems
Mar 3, 2007
(A) Some of us in the UK will have been watching with amusement what
seems to be happening in the USA and its Northern Sidekick with regard
to the change in DST rules.
I've discovered that the change will also be happening in the Bahamas
(Commonwealth), Bermuda and Turks & Caicos (British Overseas
Territories) - I wonder whether anyone told Her Majesty?
(B) Date Validation - ISTM that using D = new Date(y, m', d) then
checking getMonth and getDate may well fail on one or two days of the
year for users in the Azores and in South-East Greenland.
Time validation by similar means could occasionally fail likewise
anywhere that has Summer Time - but probably not, depending on code.
(C) US+ DST changes can be important for anything hard-coded for the
afflicted areas, and for machines there with non-updated OS data.

I'm trying to unravel / understand / re-code a website i've inherited. I can just about work my way around the html, but the javascript is proving to be a bit more taxing!
Anyway - the pages all have the following javascript functions coded into the head. I'm assuming a function is only activated if it's referenced from the body. I can't find any reference to these functions in the body and... if i remove them the pages seem to work ok - but of course they may be doing something subtle in the background that i'm unaware of so...what these functions are likely to be doing, and if they are actually useful/needed?

I have a quick question for all you skilled developers -- I'm new to the forum, intermediate with JS/jQ.
How simple would it be to implement a subtle and quick slide-in of the page content using jQuery (only that once for the home page onload).
For a reference check out this site example. I wanted to do something nice like this WITHOUT FLASH =)

I'm using LavaLamp [url] for the main navigation on a site I'm building, for a subtle animated effect.
The site itself is a single-page portfolio site with 3 sections organized vertically, "Home," "About," and "Work."
The problem I'm having is that the clicked navigation does not return to its original position on each panel if I double back on it.
For example, if I'm on the Home panel, and I want to get to About, I'll want to select "About." The LavaLamp animation will ease over to the "About" link on hover, and I'll click it, then the page will scroll to the About panel, where "About" in the navigation is being shown as selected (LavaLamp has a "current" class you can apply to whatever you want to start off as being selected)...
And that's great, BUT, say I want to get back to the Home panel. I click "Home" in the nav, and I'm transported back to the Home panel - but when I was there before, I'd selected "About", and since it's all on the same page, the link is focused on "About," even though I'm on the Home panel. Make sense?
I'm not good enough at JS or jQuery to figure out how to fix this. I think what I want to happen is for every link on each panel to STAY where it was originally assigned ("Home" link will stay on Home, "About" link will stay on About, etc.), but animate on hover only.
Is there a way to write something into the LavaLamp JS to make it so the animation works only on hover, and not on active, focus, or visited?
Here's the code, can't provide a demo page, I don't have anywhere to upload it at the moment...
index.htm with an example of what each panel looks like:
jquery.lavalamp.js:
And last but not least, the LavaLamp CSS:
Forgot to add the page js:
EDITED ALSO TO ADD: Could it have something to do with this:

I have a start date and end date text boxs. What I would like to achieve is when a submit button is clicked all the available dates between start and end dates should be displayed together with 3 check boxes next to each date (please see below). I am just wondering whether that'sachievablewith jquery, and if so, how I might be able to implement this.

I have been trying to get better at my javascript as of late and there is this one particular color fading technique I have found that I am having trouble dissecting. The following code appears to be how they are making a rollover go from a dark gray to a subtle light gray with a nice fade but I can't exactly tell whats going on from the code. Is it just telling it to add a rgb point in so many seconds?
colorInit=
true}b.elem.style[a]="rgb("+Math.max(Math.min(parseInt(b.pos*(b.end[0]-b.start[0])+b.start[0],0),255),0)+","+Math.max(Math.min(parseInt(b.pos*(b.end[1]-b.start[1])+b.start[1],10),255),0)+","+Math.max(Math.min(parseInt(b.pos*(b.end[2]-b.start[2])+b.start[2],0),255),0)+")"}});

I have added a booking form to a website with belongs to fastbooking.You can see a temporary website here. http:[url]....It works perfectly fine in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari but it does not load on Internet Explorer.On the other browsers the form loads todays date and the year is generated but on IE the date stays on 01-01 and no year is generated.I'm using wordpress as a cms.I think the code that is not loading is <body onLoad='start();'>But I'm not sure. The code of the year is
<select name='fromyear' class="input" onChange='update_departure();'>
<option value="0"></option>
</select> But since it's no just the year I assume its the onload code.
I tried to add the onload to the header function like this
<body onLoad='start();' <?php if(function_exists('body_class')) body_class(); ?>>
So now wordpress generates the following code when it loads the page
<body onLoad='start();' class="home page page-id-6 page-template page-template-default logged-in">
But sadly the date still does no load on Internet Explorer.

We have a little callendar on our website. I have set the format of the date to "dd-mm-y" because I want the date to be saved europian, not american. When comfirming the form, the date is saved as 0000-00-00. The date shows correctly on the form itself. I have two scripts: Calendar.js and Calendar-en-GB.js. Calendar-en-GB.js contains the 'settings'. (Including date format). I can't figure out the problem and thought maybe one of you could. I have uploaded the scripts in one .zip file: [URL]

<form>
<p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"><br>

90 days from date</p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>

How could I get to show the date 90 days later to the exact date and time. I would enter the data in the first box and hit submit to show in the second box.

I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31) So;
1/12/2010 is NOT wanted
01/12/2010 IS wanted
The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program).
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var todaysDate = new Date();
function updateExpiryDate(){

Not sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other.
For example if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date).

I have a drop down menu where people can select a month, day and year. Based on their selection, I want to show them an image.
If their selection is >= July 26, 2010 but <= July 25, 2011, show the red image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2011 but <= July 25, 2012, show the white image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2012 but <= July 25, 2013, show the blue image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2013 but <= July 25, 2014, show the yellow image;
I don't know how to compare a selected date to a range of dates like this.

I'm trying to match two dates in a column that outputs like: mm/dd/yyyy - mm/dd/yyyy
how to match that using a regular expression?
I'm using jQuery's tablesorter and I have this so far but it doesn't work:
Code:
$.tablesorter.addParser({
id: "shortDateBtw",
is: function(s) {
return /d{1,2}[/-]d{1,2}[/-]d{2,4}[/-]d{1,2}[/-]d{1,2}[/-]d{2,4}/.test(s);

Ok, im not getting any answers at all, Id like to try this one
Please teach me how to convert a date(in mm-dd-yy format) into milliseconds and from milliseconds into date in mm-dd-yy format!
Im thinking if i can convert the date into a number it would be easier for me to add x number of days into that date since i will be converting the no. of days into milliseconds as well.
