Time Question - How do I set the time to half hours?

[toolman]

Hi,

 

I have the following code which displays content for a specified time. Currently it displays content based on a set hour. Is there a way I can use it to display at half hour slots, for example 10.30pm - 4.00am?

 

Thanks

 

<script type="text/javascript">
      now = new Date();
      hour = now.getHours();
      if (hour > 11 && hour < 21) {
        document.write('<div id="\maintenance\">content here.</div>');
      }
</script>

You might want to consider using some JS libraries which make this easier for you.

[Jessica]

Or just add the existing getMinutes function...

[Jessica]

<script type="text/javascript">

      now = new Date();

      hour = now.getHours();

      minutes = now.getMinutes();

      if ((hour >= 10 && minutes >= 30) || (hour < 5)) {

        document.write('<div id="\maintenance\">content here.</div>');

      }

</script>

Not tested.
