Re: [jQuery] New Plugin: ODBCDate functions
The problem is the plugin uses d.getYear() which returns the current year minus 1900. To get the actual year that line should be changed to d.getFullYear(). Quick fix until the plugin gets officially updated. -blair Louise Dade wrote: Hi, [I'm usually a lurker, this is my first response - been using JQuery for a couple of months now and loving it!] On 09/11/06, Christopher Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Today, I was in need of a function to parse strings in the ODBCDateTime format.

Re: [jQuery] New Plugin: ODBCDate functions
Louise, Thanks for catching that. I thought I'd checked all the code in both IE and FF(2.0), but missed that one. I was using getYear() instead of getFullYear(). I didn't realize the difference between the two. Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks again!

Re: [jQuery] New Plugin: ODBCDate functions
I've experienced many problems when converting date from database to usable
format, so your work is great.
But copying date taken after pressing Current time, from:
Current Time in ODBCDateTime format: {ts '2006-11-9 14:57:5'}
and pasting it into Enter a string to convert box, gives an error:
invalid odbc date format
Correcting date string to {ts '2006-11-09 14:57:05'} (leading zeros in day
and seconds) gives proper answer:
Sat Dec 9 14:57:05 UTC+0100 2006
I do not know whether your output procedure is not up to format, or your
input procedure is too rigorous, but it shouldn't be that way...
Regards,
Krzysztof

Re: [jQuery] New Plugin: ODBCDate functions
Krzysztof,
You're right. I am expecting the digits in the time format to have
leading zeros, because I thought that was the "proper" ODBC format. But
I should allow single digits, and prepend the zero. Good suggestion.
I'll implement that in a few minutes.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: [jQuery] New Plugin: ODBCDate functions
Hi folks,
Per Krzysztof's suggestion I've added the ability to pass ODBCDateTime
strings that are missing leading zeros in the month, day, hours,
minutes or seconds. In the case of seconds, if you intend "00" you can
leave it off entirely (including the preceding colon). The year must
still be a full four digit year and minutes cannot be left out. If you
intend zero minutes you'll have to include (at least) ":0". Of course,
to indicate midnight use "0:" or "00:" as the hours.
I think that I'll still add on to this plug-in the ability to work with
ODBCDates (without the time) and ODBCTimes (without the date) Their
format is {d '-mm-dd'} or {t 'hh:mm:ss'} respectively. In the case
of the ODBCDate I'll assume midnight on that date (00:00:00), and in
the case of ODBCTime I'll assume the current date. I'll try to get
those added later this afternoon or tonight.
Examples:
{ts '2006-4-1 2:5'}
{ts '2006-4-01 2:5'}
{ts '2006-04-01 02:5:0'}
{ts '2006-04-1 02:5:00'}
{ts '2006-4-10 2:55:00'}
Again, you can get the plug-in here.
Cheers,
Chris
