I am looking for some kind of example of a Javascript Time Picker that is similar to the one used in Windows to pick the time...well except with out the seconds being in their. I have a mockup in place at the moment but trying to figure out how some of the user functionality should be be as it is two inputs and a dropdown. I guess I just am not happy with it at this point.
Thanks ahead of time for any help
There are a number of jQuery plugins that you can use for the perfect looking time picker control.
Here is a good one: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/timepicker
The Windows time picker (if you're referring to the one to change the system clock) is basically just a masked edit text box. If you're looking for something similar, you just need some JavaScript to do masked edits, like this one:
http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/
To make it specifically for time, you should be able to easily add logic to ensure the hours don't go over 12 (or 24), and the minutes don't go over 59.
Personally, I prefer the way Google Calendar does time selections. There is a jQuery plugin for this which can be found here:
http://labs.perifer.se/timedatepicker/
Here's a cool one.
http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/GUI-Components/FancyTimePicker.htm
An online example of the control is posted here.
Like Dan said, if you are looking for a masked text input and if you want to use the PrototypsJS framework, there is http://code.google.com/p/phenx-web/ .
And if you want a good date/time picker, you could use this : http://home.jongsma.org/software/js/datepicker (also PrototypeJS). I'm currently working on it with Jerermy Jongsma to add more features.
I'm pretty fond of the jQuery stuff, There is a fairly nice one here.
I ended up creating a prototype time picker that for the time being is less fancy than a lot of the others out there. It shows up a regular input until you click on it then it shows a dropdown that has times in it.
I can share the code if anyone is interested
A timepicker shouldn't slow down the user's interaction, should be pretty straightforward without having to play with it for a while, and should be keyboard-accessible for users who can't manipulate a mouse. The time-picking functionality provided by the Any+Time™ Datepicker/Timepicker AJAX Calendar Widget with TimeZone Support meets all of these design goals, supports countless date/time formats and is easy to customize using CSS or jQuery UI.
A good test of timepicker usability is to think of an odd time (say, 10:32pm) and then see how long it takes to accurately select that time using various time pickers. You can probably do it with Any+Time™ faster than you can even write out the time by hand... how's that for speed and ease of use? :-p

I tried to use mobiscroll to make my time picker and my inputs more responsive(like native apps). But suddenly I understood that mobiscroll isn’t free. That was a shock for me because I show project with it.
Does anyone know any good free alternatives?
Is demo of mobiscroll free?
Is there any way to hack or change codes of library?
I know similar and identical questions have been asked before but none have gotten the answer I need.
I have a form where users enter a date. Obviously it is better for the UX that they have a calendar or similar easy way of picking the date for something. However, Firefox does not support the date picker input type offered by Chrome and Safari.
Because I want my application to be as light-weight and easy to load as possible, I do not want to use JQuery UI. I am using JQuery for many other things so that is a possibility. I want something that matches the GUI of Firefox and does not inhibit the date picker of other browsers that do support the input type.
If this is not possible, is there anyway to make sure that the date is formulated similar to how Chrome formulates it's dates or to in some other way make it easier for the user to enter the date? Preferably with JavaScript or HTML examples.
If you do not want to use jQuery UI, you can use something else like https://github.com/dbushell/Pikaday - it's lightweight and certainly better than jQuery UI one in my opinion.
In order to be consistent with the formatting, you could disable Chrome's native date picker (and Safari) and instead consistently use the same date picker across your application for similar UX.
I've searched on Google and these forums but haven't found what I'm looking for so I'll ask here :)
I'm working on an HTML 5 hybrid app project using the Ionic Framework and I'm looking to implement a type of picker that allows the user to select Hours/Minutes (i.e. [5 hours | 30 minutes]). What our UX design is calling for is something similar to this:
UIPickerView that looks like UIDatePicker but with seconds
Is it possible to implement this in Android using the Picker class (doesn't necessarily have to have scrolling wheels like on iOS)?
This is best time picker ever, you can set format with 24hour and 12hour as well
https://github.com/rajeshwarpatlolla/ionic-timepicker
I know its a little late but to whomsoever it may concern , try mobiscroll it has a really awesome IOS like picker with the option to choose different types like hour, minutes, etc.
Here's the link : http://demo.mobiscroll.com/
Just dig into their opensource code available here: https://github.com/acidb/mobiscroll
And if you have any issues integrating just drop a mail to them they have amazing support.
NOTE: Although for direct integration you need to buy a license.
Hi I'm looking for a jQuery, JS, or PHP code that will allow me to display a calender with predetermined classes available for booking, i.e. a calender that displays the time of classes available at the local gym for each day and allows for possible bookings, even just allows an external link to another booking page would be ok. I've been looking for this for a few days now and have had no luck. My apologies if I'm using the wrong terminology and this has been covered many times before.
Regards,
Chris
Where I live a lot of gyms use https://www.mindbodyonline.com for class timetables and booking.

I'm having some difficulties creating a javascript appointment style calendar. While it does render, I know there's go to be a much more efficient way of doing it. Does anyone have a pattern they use for creating calendars? I will be using jQuery, but I don't want to use someone's calendar plugin as a) I haven't found one that works for what I need and b) I'm never going to get any better by using someone elses work.
Now, keep in mind my question is not about loading data in or getting repeat occurances or anything like that. I'm basically needing to know a good pattern on actually rendering the calendar markup.
Ive just published a new OS project called FullCalendar (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/)
Sounds like what you might want. Pass it an array of events/appointments and it will render. The plugin only provides the essentials, but you can use event hooks to extend it.
Start with the date.js library, why reinvent things like figuring out the name of the day of the week, leap years and things like that. Build your own visualization on top of it.
There are a lot of gotchas associated with developing a calendar control from scratch. Since you're already using jQuery, I would recommend customizing a solution such as jCalendar and create your own wrapper such as the one described here
I think that taking someone elses work is your best bet. why reinvent the wheel?
You can atleast take the part that figures out what are the days of that month in that year, and which of those days are weekends. I dont think you should waste your time trying to figure out that.
i had to do this once, albeit, it was just a mockup implementation, and i used someones work see:
http://kpmm.doesthatevencompile.com/calendar.htm?p=5.1.2.1
i added some stuff but not much. i think that calendar renders cleanly and nicely.
good luck
Calendars are very tricky beasts and Javascript's Date() object leaves a lot to be desired and I wouldn't even want to attempt it without date.js.
You have to be aware of JS Date() (being the user's current Timezone) vs Server Date/Time and JS's epoch and all kinds of silly stuff.
I've written calendars in the past and won't do it these days because of the effort involved, but it is a good learning experience.
If you have to fall back to someone else's calendar, I would suggest jQuery UI's
