This was a good interface challenge... Instead of using a standard slider, I think a dual slider would be a good solution (but this might depend on the actual time constraints of your "day"). Can't do this kind of thing with a stock slider however (you'd need two separate sliders). It also occurred to me that mini-calendars are the current de-facto standard for entering dates in forms, so how about a clock face for time entry? I posted an example online that shows both time entry options (don't ask me to explain the math). Execute the following in your Rev message box: go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/timesettings.rev"; Each set of controls relies on the behavior script that is present on the right side of the stack. Maybe one of these could work.
