Americanizing Dates & Times

[Buford T. Justice]

I have been editing the HTML in order to display dates and times in the formats we use here in the USA. I have done it all except for a little problem on recordT.htm. I am trying to do this, but the code doesn't seem to work:

Code: Select all

<#recordsbegandate format="mmmm d, yyyy">

Is the #recordsbegandate tag non-formattable?

I still need to do monthlyrecordT.htm, but it looks a bit daunting.

Hi Bulford,

I suspect the comma is causing the problem. Here's what my formatting looks like.

format="'at' hh:mm 'on' d mmmm yyyy"

Try placing a pair of single quotes either side of the comma if you want to retain it.

You're quite right in saying monthlyrecordT is daunting but the effort is worthwhile.

There's no user-selectable formatting on <#recordsbegandate>, it's fixed at "dd mmmm yyyy". I could add it, but the easiest solution is just to hard code it, since you're having to edit it anyway.

I wound up just entering the date my records started.

I have been playing around with a backup copy of monthlyrecordT.htm and I am still having a heck of a time trying to figure out where to put the formatting command without breaking the rest of the page.

I just want it to use a date and time format like this:

1/12/2013 12:05 AM

How about something like this taken from another html document...

<td> on <#YearHighDailyTempRangeD format="mm/d/yyyy hh:nn am/pm"></td>

Looks okay. You just need to lose the colon after 2013.

I like the : as it is proper to use it for a list which follows it.
