Suggestion: Time-only Input Field
Purpose: Allow a user to input a time (similar to the date-only input field), but just for time.
Motivation: I simply do not like in current implementation of the date-time input filed. We have date-only, why not time also?
- It's in military time, and most western nations are more familiar to AM/PM notation
- I don't need seconds, or at least I'd like to have to option not to display seconds
- In some cases (browsers) the java app does not appear and manual entry is cumbersome (19 characters to type!)
- With the new fix for date format bugs, one can simply do this input.MYDATE + " " + input.MYTIME = input.DATETIME
Examples: A contact form that includes "Best time to call me". A real-time conference application that only shows up-coming seminars on a list.
Implementation: Options to display 24 or 12 hr mode, yes/no for seconds, and maybe even defined increments and ranges. For example, a user can type in 9:30 am and Zoho will understand what this means.
Issues: NONE

A workaround was developed by Gaev using a function to validate a text field.
