Hi, The time representations shown in the sample are in the format of RFC 3339 timestamp. Basically it takes this format -
[year]T[time]-[offset] Where year is hyphen separated year, time is the military-formatted time (0 - 23 hours), and offset is the timezone offset relative the GMT. So in the example of 2008-05-05T09:00:00.000-08:00, this string represents May 5th, 2008 9am Pacific timezone. Notice that Pacific timezone is minus 8 hours from GMT (minus 7 during daylight saving). For more information on RFC 3339 format, please go to - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt The reason they don't show up correctly on your calendar is probably because you are on a different timezone and the offset for pacific timezone right now is -7 instead of -8 because of the we are in daylight saving period. If you adjust the GMT offset of these date time strings you should be able to see them displayed correctly on your calendar. Hope it helps, Austin On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:29 PM, Pat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I was try to generate events to my calendar using the Calendar API. > The format shown by the interactive samples have the timing in the > following formats; > > var startTime = > google.gdata.DateTime.fromIso8601("2008-05-05T09:00:00.000-08:00"); > var endTime = > google.gdata.DateTime.fromIso8601("2008-05-05T10:00:00.000-08:00"); > > Using this format, the events get generated at randoms times in my > calendar.
