I am trying to validate that one date is between 2 other dates using suitescript when being edited inline on a saved search

Validate inline edit on a saved search, suitescript 1.0
I have the validation working for non-inline edits when the change is made on the record itself. I am looking to get the same validation online when an edit is made on the saved search as an inline edit. I have 3 date fields, a ship, cancel, and expected date. The cancel date needs to be between the ship date and the expected date. I am using the following code. TNHelper.inRageDateCheck just returns true if the 3rd date is between the first two dates.
Edit Example
function saveRecord_Functions() {
var noProblem = true, alertmsg = '';
// EXPECTED DATE Required only in Form "TN Purchase Order"
if (nlapiGetFieldValue('customform') != 102 || type != 'xedit') return true;
var helper = new TNHelper();
if (helper.inRageDateCheck(nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_startshipdate')
,nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_tn_po_expecteddate')
,nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_tn_po_canceldate'))){
noProblem = true;
}else{
alertmsg = 'Cancel Date must be between Start Ship Date and Expected Date.';
}
if(alertmsg.length>0){
alert(alertmsg);
return;
}
return noProblem;
}
I would like it to pop alertmsg when an invalid cancel date is put into the field and attempted to be saved.

This will not work on the client script save record entry point; the xedit context validation is only available for user event scripts. You can add validation with a UE script, but unfortunately you will not be able to send an alert to the user via alert().

Adding time to jQuery datepicker() function

I have a input field which I want to fill with date and time in format yy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss, because I'm sending this information to my databases column with DATETIME (or similar) data type. I made this work with two inputs - one textfield I filled with datepicker() and other was <select> list with predefined values for time. Today I was coding another functionality in php and I didn`t like my situation with date and time, so I made javascript code like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".datepicker").click(function(){
var a = "yy-mm-dd ";
var b = prompt("Ievadi laiku formātā hh-mm-ss", "00-00-00");
var c = a.concat(b);
$(".datepicker").datepicker({dateFormat: c});
});
</script>
So when I click on the input field I get a prompt where I type time and press enter. This is when I'd like to choose a date from the calendar but as datepicker actually works at the same time when prompt shows up (on click), then argument c doesn't exist at this time and calendar doesn't show up because dateFormat is invalid. If I click once again on the input field, I get another prompt and after the second prompt calendar shows up, but datepicker uses the format I was trying to set the first time not now. So if I entered "00-00-00" for the first time and "00-10-00" for the second, than after choosing the date I get "mydate 00-00-00" and not the actual time I entered this time. I've seen similar posts here but it didn't help me. There was a post of getting current time and appending to the date but I guess this is different. Should I use some other method to enter the time and then add it to date as I was trying to do it or is there a way to give my variable c a value before datepicker works? I`ll appreciate your suggestions.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(".datepicker").click(function(){
var a = "yy-mm-dd ";
var b = prompt("Ievadi laiku formātā hh-mm-ss", "00-00-00");
var c = a.concat(b);
if (c.length > 0){
$(".datepicker").datepicker({dateFormat: c});
}});
</script>
If statement solved this one. But it doesnt work every time. Ill check this tomorrow.
EDITED: this works - https://jsfiddle.net/gne64yd5/20/

Check if Minimum interval between time is 2 hours with jQuery

Im using the car rental plugin and need to modify it in a way that if the rental time chosen by customer is less than 2 hours, to give him a message, pop up or any kind of message, that he needs to choose time minimum 2 hours for rental.
You can see the example here: http://envato.bestsoftinc.net/wp-car/
I need to make sure that there is at least 2 hour difference between pick up date field and drop off date field, if not, I need to show him message and not let him click on the Search Button. Any ideas how I can achieve that with jQuery or Regular Javascript please?
Thank you

this is the basic logic for it, try implement this with your site.
i found moment.js is really helpful with js time date obj you can give it a try
if($('#checkInDate').value() === $('#checkOutDate').value) [
if both date is the same date, than
var checkInTime = $('#checkInTime').value();
var checkOutTime = $('#checkInTime').valeu();
get time value
if(checkOutTime > checkInTime) {
checkOutTime must be later than checkInTime when it's the same date
if(checkOutTime - checkInTime > 2) {
if duration is more than 2 than this value is ok
alert('ok');
this fail 3rd if statement
} else { alert('error must less than 2 '); }
this fail 2nd if statement
} else {alert('error checkout must bigger than checkin'); }
end 1st if statement that check for same date
}

JavaScript - Input a date then autopopulate next field with difference

Hi this is making me nuts. I am not a developer. Trying to get this to work.
User puts in a date (hire date) into form using Date object (calendar)
Next field should take that date and subtract todays date to get the length of employment.
But I get undefined in the field AND my original hire date disappears.
Here is what I have, help please, much appreciation!
//grab date of hire
try{document.getElementById("dData_DOH").onchange = custom_calculateDate;}catch(e){}
//not sure if necessary - field that the difference should go to
try{document.getElementById("dData_LengthEmp").onblur = insertDate;}catch(e){}
//Function to grab input hire date
//Create variable for now
//Create variable for difference
function custom_calculateDate(){
var hireDate = document.getElementById("dData_DOH").value = "";
var timeNow= new Date();
var diff = Math.abs(timeNow - hireDate);
document.getElementById("dData_DOH").setAttribute('value', custom_calculateDate());
}
//Function to get the difference into the LengthEmp field
function insertDate() {
document.getElementById("dData_LengthEmp").setAttribute("", custom_calculateDate());
}
I know this is completely wrong, as I said I am not a developer or programmer, I cannot figure out how to get this information into this field and get my original field to still show.
Thank you for reading this!

Use value instead of setAttribute
document.getElementById("dData_DOH").value = custom_calculateDate();

Wow wow wow.
I'll try to rewrite your code by giving you explainations about why:
// Firstly, the onchange event doesn't work on IE for text inputs, prefer onblur
document.getElementById('dData_DOH').onblur = function(e) {
// Now let's get some variables
var hireDate = this.value, // "this" refers to the element that triggered the event
now = new Date(),
// You were on the right track for the difference, almost!
diff = Math.abs(new Date(now.getTime() - hireDate.getTime()))
// Finally, just don't change the original field, but the one you wanted to modify
document.getElementById('dData_LengthEmp').value = diff.toTimeString() // Get the time as a readable format
}
I haven't tested the solution, but it should get you on the track.
Btw, don't use try/catch.

javascript/python time processing fails in chrome

I am writing a timer web app,which records start time and stop time.It uses javascript,jquery1.4.2 for the front end and python for backend code.When a start button is clicked ,start time is saved in a javascript variable.when the button is clicked again, stop time is saved in another variable.These values are passed as hidden parameters to the python code which gets the start,stop values from django's request parameter.
I expect the start/stop parameters values to be in the following format
"07:16:03 PM"
so that it can be parsed using '%I:%M:%S %p'format string.
I am getting this correctly in mozilla firefox.But when I use chrome,I only get
"19:16:03"
This causes value error when I try to parse it with the above format string.
import time
...
def process_input(request,...):
start_time=request.POST[u'timerstarted']
...
fmtstr='%I:%M:%S %p'
start_time_list = list(time.strptime(start_time,fmtstr)[3:6])
I tried putting alert('start time set as'+start_time) in javascript to find what values are set in the page's hiddenfields
With firefox ,I got
start time set as08:03:09 PM
stop time set as08:03:43 PM
but with chrome
start time set as20:04:21
stop time set as20:04:32
My knowledge of javascript,jquery is minimal.Why is the script behaving differently in these two browsers? Below is the javascript snippet
$(document).ready(function(){
var changeBtnStatus=function(){
var timebtnvalue=$('#timebtn').attr("value");
if (timebtnvalue =="start"){
...
var start_date=new Date();
var str_time=start_date.toLocaleTimeString();
var timerstartedfield =$('#timerstarted');
timerstartedfield.attr("value",str_time);
alert('start time set as'+str_time);
}
else if (timebtnvalue=="stop"){
...
var stop_date=new Date();
var stp_time=stop_date.toLocaleTimeString();
var timerstoppedfield =$('#timerstopped');
timerstoppedfield.attr("value",stp_time);
alert('stop time set as'+stp_time);
}
};
var timerBtnClicked=function(){
...
changeBtnStatus();
};
$('#timebtn').click(timerBtnClicked);
...
}
);

You don't want the string of the time in locale, using the toString method you can provide your own format, or use toUTCString().
toLocaleTimeString is especially meant to display the time as the user is used to, you want it in a set format.
So instead of start_date.toLocaleTimeString(), you want to use start_date.toUTCString().

Why format the time in JavaScript and parse in Python, and even submit yourself to the confusion of different locales?
Try using Date.getTime insteam:
start_time = (new Date).getTime();
stop_time = (new Date).getTime();
This gets you the time in milliseconds since the epoch, which should always be stable.
