Getting client's date and time

2008-03-21 Thread Cristi Manole
Hello,

I'm looking for a quick solution to get the client's date and time in a
wicket modal, without a post

I can have a wicket component, like a label and I can use js functions to
set it in a span for example.

The question is... how can i read that value I set in js in wicket?

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,
Cristi

Can you write the value to a hidden form field?

yes, i can, but how can i read it without post?

it doesn't even need to be hidden as i want it shown... i just want to query
it from time to time., again - without a post.

is it possible to read it through ajax or from the dom... or something,
inside wicket?

Could you have a completely hidden form?  Just create a simple form
that just has that hidden field in it.  Then, post it using Ajax.  I'm
just thinking out loud here, but it might just be crazy enough to
work. :)

Perhaps you could snoop their browser as in this example (look at the

now that was a great tip :)

thanks for reminding me... i knew about this feature... i even used it in a
previous project...

wicket can gather a lot of browser settings including time :)

for ppl also looking for this, don't forget to put this into your
WebApplication class:
getRequestCycleSettings().setGatherExtendedBrowserInfo(true);

Thanks again, James :)
