Hi,
Great script. Only I think I found a potentially potent bug!
I am using the mi-NZ version and using Date.parse(“dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm tt”) format i.e. 30/09/2011 11:07 pm however 12:07 am gives me a date with getHours() = 12 and 12:07pm gives me a date with getHours() = 12. Everything else is working fine ie. 1am returns 1, 2am returns 2, 2pm returns 14 etc. 12am should return 0?

How would I go about correcting this?

Cheers,
Le-roy

I changed the the getDayName function to accept 1,2 or 3 as the abbreviating parameter as I couldn’t find anyway to getDayInitial.

Date.prototype.getDayName=function(abbrev){
return abbrev==3?
Date.CultureInfo.abbreviatedDayNames[this.getDay()]:
abbrev==2?
Date.CultureInfo.shortestDayNames[this.getDay()]:
abbrev==1?
Date.CultureInfo.firstLetterDayNames[this.getDay()]:
Date.CultureInfo.dayNames[this.getDay()];};

Will someone please tell me why we can’t get Date.parse to correctly parse 12:00 AM or 12:00 PM????

It is not recognizing 12:00 PM as a valid value. And 12:00 AM is parsed as 12:00 PM.

We’ve stripped out everything but jquery 1.4.3 and datejs.

It’s pretty damn basic, so I’m not sure what else we should try.

Thanks!

Damm. If only I’d come across this two weeks ago. I s’pose I can play with dates in JS the same way I do in Rails now

Thanks

Quick and clean jQuery DatePicker integration:

Modify DatePicker’s parseDate function. After initial validation:

if (value == ”) return null;

Comment out the rest of the function. Replace with:

var dateJsParseAttemptDate = Date.parse(value);
if(dateJsParseAttemptDate) return dateJsParseAttemptDate;
throw ‘Invalid date’;

Disregard that, I’m silly.
