Well, another problem is that you weren't using valid time object. If you use "5:30AM", CF will think that's a text string. If you use the proper format: "5:30 AM", it will work fine. I tested my code before I sent it to the list, and if you follow the code exactly, it will work fine. ---mark -------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -------------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Gavin Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 12:13 PM > To: CF-Talk > Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: re: time > > > had the same problem, heres the solution > > if you try and run an if then statement using standard time, like this: > > If now gt "5:30AM" and now lt "4:00PM then > hey we're open > else > sorry closed > /if > > it doesnt work right? > > what you have to do (just for the if then part) is use military time > like this just goes by hours(HH), so 5:30AM is 5, and 4:00PM is 16 > > <CFIF #timeformat(time, "HH")# gt "7" and #timeformat(time, "HH")# lt > "12"> > <cfset wentthere=1> > </cfif> > </cfoutput> > > <cfoutput> > <CFSET time = now()> > <CFIF #timeformat(time, "HH")# gt "12" and #timeformat(time, > "HH")# lt "16"> > <cfset wentthere=1> > </cfif> > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------ > Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ > To Unsubscribe visit > http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf _talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebarRsts&bodyRsts/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
