Cycle 2: Time-only Input Field

Cycle 2: Time-only Input Field

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?

  1. It's in military time, and most western nations are more familiar to AM/PM notation
  2. I don't need seconds, or at least I'd like to have to option not to display seconds
  3. In some cases (browsers) the java app does not appear and manual entry is cumbersome (19 characters to type!)
  4. 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.
