    <p>I don't think a date library will help much here, it will just add bloat and something else to maintain and worry about. The following gets the "current" activities, it's up to you to format the returned data and do something with it.</p> <p>It doesn't need much date support, it's mostly filtering the activities. Converting the times to date objects for comparison is trivial (3 lines of code).</p> <pre><code>var dUtil = { // Use provided date object, or today // Add support for strings? getDayName: function(dateObj) { var days = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday']; dateObj = dateObj || new Date(); return days[dateObj.getDay()]; }, // Expects a string like '10:00 AM', assumes current date // Note that this will only work where client and server are // the same timezone timeToDate: function(s) { var d = new Date(); s = s.split(/[: ]/); d.setHours((s[2] == 'AM'? s[0] : +s[0] + 12), s[1], 0); return d; } }; function getCurrentActivities(data) { var currentActivities = []; var todayActivities, activity, name, times, start, end; var now = new Date(); // Get current day name var currentDayName = dUtil.getDayName(); // Get activities from array for (var i=0, iLen=data.length; i&lt;iLen; i++) { if (data[i].day == currentDayName) { todayActivities = data[i].activities; break; } } // If there are no activities for today, return undefined if (!todayActivities) return; // For each activity today, see what are on now for (var j=0, jLen=todayActivities.length; j&lt;jLen; j++) { activity = todayActivities[j]; name = activity.activity; // Loop over times to see if on now times = activity.times; for (var k=0, kLen=times.length; k&lt;kLen; k++) { if (dUtil.timeToDate(times[k].start) &lt; now &amp;&amp; dUtil.timeToDate(times[k].end) &gt; now) { // Add activity to result array // Format to whatever is needed // This gives an array of strings like "Freestyle - 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM" currentActivities.push(name + ' - ' + times[k].start + ' to ' + times[k].end); } } } return currentActivities; } </code></pre>

    1. COHi RobG, thanks for this. Sorry about the delayed feedback, but I'm still taking it all in and trying to figure it out. Will comment more later.

    2. COThis script is pretty incredible. Looking at it reminds me of just how little JavaScript I really know. :) Thanks again.

    3. COHi RobG - I've tried to implement this and I ran into an issue. I created an AJAX request and in that I called "getCurrentActivities" and I passed it the request.responseText. All is good at that point. After I get current day, it goes into the for loop to get activities and in that the issue arises at "data[i].day". What that returns is every individual character in my JSON file-exactly 22059-. For example, each time it returns "[" and next a blank space, and so on. So, the day never does match. I found this out by running Chrome Dev Tool. Any suggestions. Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
