i have this code where it computes for the time entered by the user.
it doesn't have yet the limitations or the conditions regarding the time to be entered .

it successfully computes for the time and the hour increases based on the minutes, but the problem is when you entered "9" for the hour it doesn't add to the total but the rest is fine.. anyone can help ?

so here it is:

<html>
<FORM>
<table name="tblSamp" border="1">
<tr><th>Time</th>
<td><input type="text" name="alpha" value="" onchange="addColon(this.form.alpha, this.form.total);" maxlength="5"/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="beta" value="" onchange="addColon(this.form.beta, this.form.total);" maxlength="5" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="gamma" value="" onchange="addColon(this.form.gamma, this.form.total);"  maxlength="5"/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="total" value="" readonly="readonly" /></td>
</tr>

</table>

just copy the whole thing and you can try it ...
i really need help in this. i can't see where did that problem come from ..
cheers,

the problem is not only on 9 numeric.Problem is also if you give any number such as "9:08".Check if you are doing correct calculation.Will look into your logic once my work is done.

i'm pretty sure the calculation is correct.. or maybe i'm just missing on something ...
i'm sorry i reaaly need help in this one .. tnx

??

9 does not exist in octal numbers, which has digits in range of 0..7. Octal numbers is signaled with 0 at beginning of number, you can however tell that number is actually base 10 by using optional second parameter to parseInt

i've solved this actually .. and yes you're right, it's because of the octal thing.

Then you should mark it solved.
