 Can anyone make a suggestion on the best/standard way to setup data
 entry for time.. Specifically for a entry field for an event start time.

 I've thought about a text box, but that would seem to allow too many
 mistakes for the data entry person.. I've considered drop down select
 boxes for hour, AM/PM and minutes.. But there must be a standard, best
 way to do this for database entry using CF (or maybe even javascript)
 Thanks in advance

Users are liable to find multiple drop-downs frustrating. For that matter,
single drop-downs can be very frustrating if they are especially long. For
instance, you don't want to have an event start date drop-down with one
entry for every minute of the day -- one entry for every five minutes is
even likely to be frustrating.

If you can assume that any given start or end time for an event will only
occur between certain hours and on the half or quarter hour ( i.e. from 9-5
mon-fri, every half hour ), then you might be able to get a drop down to a
reasonable size that users won't be horribly frustrated by them. In this
setup, I can double-tap the 2 key on my keyboard and instantly hit 2:30, so
it's actually fairly convenient ( more so than a text field ).

In failing that, the next best thing is probably going to be a text field.
You can validate this with javascript to make sure the text is in the format
HH:mm, however, you should also validate this on the server-side (
server-side validation really should be performed for anything, if for no
other reason to be certain the javascript conveniences are working properly
)... Something like this should generally work fairly well to determine if
what is entered is a valid time:

cfset mytime = listtoarray(form.starttime,:)
cfif arraylen(mytime) neq 2
or not isnumeric(mytime[1])
or not isnumeric(mytime[2])
or mytime[1] lt 1
or mytime[1] gt 24
or mytime[2] lt 1
or mytime[2] gt 59
cfthrow type=custom message=Invalid start time
/cfif

Of course, there are regex methods of checking this and the like, i.e.

cfif not REFindNoCase([0-2]?[0-9]:[0-9]{2,2},form.starttime)
or listgetat(form.starttime,1,:) gt 24
or listgetat(form.starttime,2,:) gt 59
cfthrow ...
/cfif

It all depends on what you're comfortable with of course...

If you're not familiar with Regular Expressions ( the 2nd example ) and want
more info, there's also a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list which has some
fairly knowledgeable people on it, including Mike Dinowitz who maintains the
house of fusion. :)

Personally, I prefer to use 2 text fields separated by a colon. Each 
textfield can hold 2 numbers and since a 24 hour clock is standard there 
is no need for an AM/PM field. Throw in some javascript so both fields 
have an onFocus behaviour that selects their content. Both easy to 
validate and easy to use.

RE: entering time

2002-10-16 Thread S . Isaac Dealey

I don't think he's validating date input in this instance, although you
raise a good point, and something that didn't occur to me in my last post:

cftry
cfset mytime =
CreateTime(ListFirst(form.starttime,:),ListLast(form.starttime,:),0)
cfcatchinvalid date/cfcatch
/cftry

There isn't any IsTime function, although I suppose on CF5 or MX you could
write this into a UDF... though for performance you probably wouldn't want
to use cftry in the UDF ( it's not possible on CF 5 ).

function IsTime(timestring) {
var delim = :;
var rexp = ^[0-2]?[0-9]:[0-5][0-9](:[0-5][0-9])?(a|p|am|pm)?$;

timestring = REReplace(timestring,[[:space:]],,ALL);
if (not REFindNoCase(rexp,timestring)) { return false; }

if (listfirst(timestring,delim) gt 24) { return false; }
else if (REFindNoCase([ap],timestring)
and listfirst(timestring,delim) gt 12) { return false; }
else { return true; }
}

This is probably a better solution than my previous post ( assuming CF 5+ )
since it's horribly portable, and allows you to use this function over and
over for start and end event times, etc. throughout your app. I suspect
you'll want to use something like this in at least 2 places, which probably
makes it worthwhile.

Theoretically this test would determine whether or not you could pass the
timestring variable to timeformat() to produce whatever standard time format
you want.

Yes. However, unless you're in the U.S. military, it's rare that you'll use
24-hour time here. That's one of the (sometimes) nice things about this
country - standards may be official, but they're rarely imposed on the
population without prior acceptance by society. Witness the failure of the
metric system here, for example.

RE: entering time

2002-10-16 Thread Mosh Teitelbaum

   ... since a 24 hour clock is standard there is no need for an
  AM/PM field.
 
  It's my experience that most Merkins don't do well with 24-hour clocks.

 It's my experience that most Merkins don't know how long it takes the
Earth
 to go round the Sun.

 But let's not start that.

Not fair; that's a trick question.  Every Merkin knows that the sun (and
everything else in the universe) rotates around the Earth.  Sheesh.

  Well, somebody decided that the official format in the US is 24-hour ;)

 That's as may be, but all the non-techie types I know--that
 didn't serve in
 the military--will look at you funny if you tell them that WWE is on at
 1930.

Maybe they're looking at you funny because WWE PPVs are on at 20:00... 8^)
