POjavascript/python time processing fails in chrome
text
Body
copied!<p>I am writing a timer web app,which records start time and stop time.It uses <code>javascript,jquery1.4.2</code> for the front end and <code>python</code> for backend code.When a start button is clicked ,start time is saved in a javascript variable.when the button is clicked again, stop time is saved in another variable.These values are passed as hidden parameters to the python code which gets the start,stop values from <code>django</code>'s <code>request</code> parameter.</p> <p>I expect the start/stop parameters values to be in the following format</p> <pre><code>"07:16:03 PM" </code></pre> <p>so that it can be parsed using <code>'%I:%M:%S %p'</code>format string. I am getting this correctly in <code>mozilla firefox</code>.But when I use <code>chrome</code>,I only get</p> <pre><code>"19:16:03" </code></pre> <p>This causes value error when I try to parse it with the above format string.</p> <pre><code>import time ... def process_input(request,...): start_time=request.POST[u'timerstarted'] ... fmtstr='%I:%M:%S %p' start_time_list = list(time.strptime(start_time,fmtstr)[3:6]) </code></pre> <p>I tried putting <code>alert('start time set as'+start_time)</code> in javascript to find what values are set in the page's hiddenfields</p> <p>With firefox ,I got</p> <pre><code>start time set as08:03:09 PM stop time set as08:03:43 PM </code></pre> <p>but with chrome</p> <pre><code>start time set as20:04:21 stop time set as20:04:32 </code></pre> <p>My knowledge of javascript,jquery is minimal.Why is the script behaving differently in these two browsers? Below is the javascript snippet</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){ var changeBtnStatus=function(){ var timebtnvalue=$('#timebtn').attr("value"); if (timebtnvalue =="start"){ ... var start_date=new Date(); var str_time=start_date.toLocaleTimeString(); var timerstartedfield =$('#timerstarted'); timerstartedfield.attr("value",str_time); alert('start time set as'+str_time); } else if (timebtnvalue=="stop"){ ... var stop_date=new Date(); var stp_time=stop_date.toLocaleTimeString(); var timerstoppedfield =$('#timerstopped'); timerstoppedfield.attr("value",stp_time); alert('stop time set as'+stp_time); } }; var timerBtnClicked=function(){ ... changeBtnStatus(); }; $('#timebtn').click(timerBtnClicked); ... } ); </code></pre>
