I am currently working on a realtime chat project using ASP. In my system a User lets say 'X' has to request for a chat session with say a user 'Y' and Admin checks it and Approves if a valid response.
Now my problem is if user X is from Time Zone 'A' and if user Y is from another Time Zone, My system is gonna have a bad time. So if any one previously worked in such projects please advice me how to handle this situation. Please advise how to time Zone Calculations also.
I need to know how can I inster dates and hours according to the time zone where the user is. For example, I'm on Argentina but the server is at the US. So I'd like to know how to save the time & hour, just like the now function, but in Argentina, although the server is in the US.
View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP app that works as an online time clock. The
user logs in and clocks in and out and the app records the
time punches in an access 2000 database. My problem is
this. I just setup a user in the central time zone and
they have reported that when they use the online time
clock, it saves the time as eastern time instead of
central. How can I make the software know which time zone
the user is in?

Currently working on a ASP for a friend, which requires the date and
time on it. It pulls in entries from an Access Database with dates and
times in the format of:
"Fri Oct 17 18:02:46 2003"
However my date and time on the ASP page is displayed as:
"Friday, October 17, 2003 18:02:46"
using the script:
"<%Session.LCID = 1033%>
<%=FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate)%>
<%Session.LCID = 2057%>
<%=time()%>"
Anyone know how to change this script, fully or partly to produce the
date and time on the format that's in the access database i.e. "Fri Oct 17
18:02:46 2003" Code:

View Replies View RelatedWhen the Form is submitted I use the Date() and Time() functions to put the date and time into the Body part of the e-mail. The time reported is three hours earlier than the time at which the Form is actually submitted.
I understand these functions are evaluated on the server so the server must be in a time zone three hours earlier than where I am . Is there any way I can get the local time at the location where the user is actually located. ?
Any some tools or sample codes drop down asp script execute time and
database connection time ?
I'm trying to do a very simple code that converts the server time into a time zone of your choice.
<%
dim h 'Current Hour
dim i ' Time Zone Increase - add or subtract hours
dim r 'Result Here
h = Hour(Now)
i = + 2
r = h + i
%>
but obvisouly i'm having trouble with the time zone convert.
I am trying to compare the NOW time with a "deadline" time. Please help. Just not sure why this is not working. I need to be able to say IF IT'S BEFORE 9:30 TODAY, IT'S OKAY TO ADD SOMETHING. IF IT'S AFTER 9:30 TODAY, YOU MUST ADD IT TOMORROW.
CODE:
nowtime=now()
deadlinetime=formatdatetime(now(),2) + " 8:30:00 AM"
response.write "NOW: " & nowtime & "<BR>"
response.write "Deadline: " & deadlinetime & "<BR>"
if nowtime<deadlinetime then response.write "can send out today" end if
if nowtime>deadlinetime then response.write "must send out tomorrow" end
if
RESULTS:
NOW: 1/18/2007 8:51:43 AM
Deadline: 1/18/2007 8:30:00 AM
can send out today
As you can see, NOW is GREATER THAN Deadline, so it should must send out tomorrow.
i want to calculate the total time between to dates and time.
Example: Total time elapsed from date 1 time 1 to date 2 time 2.
27/09/2004 11:00 - 28/09/2004 10:30
The user enters a record and then later comes back and closes it. I need to know the time it took from when they entered the record until the time it was closed.
i am trying to get a time variable which is 30 minutes before the current time to use in a calculation.
The code I am using is:
validationtime=time-3000
response.write(time)
response.write ("<BR>")
response.write(validationtime)
but the response I get is incorrect along the lines of:
11:54:42
14/10/1891 12:05:18
What am I doing wrong, why is validation time also including a date

I am trying to use the time function to determine whether or not it is morning, afternoon or evening.
I wrote my code and then changed the values it is comparing with to see if would work and it doesn't, it just stays on the good morning.

Good Morning <b><%= Session("sessFirstName") %></b><br><br>
<a href="logout.asp">Log Out</a>
<% end if %>
<% if time > 12 then %>
Good Afternoon <b><%= Session("sessFirstName") %></b><br><br>
<a href="logout.asp">Log Out</a>
<% end if %>
<% if time > 18 then %>
Good Evening <b><%= Session("sessFirstName") %></b><br><br>

Would anyone know if there is an easy and clean way of presenting maybe a time control field in html in an .asp page that allows a user to specify a certain time of the day? Currently using an <input name="SpecifyTime" type="Text"field but was wondering if there was a better way of doing this as to where users won't mistype in entering non time related characters?

It all works fine except for date/time fields where the date >=
24/10/2004 and <= 31/10/2004 where it takes 1 hour off the time ie

View Replies View RelatedI am using 'Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0'
as my editor 4 asp.
I just one 2 know, how can I set the debugger for it
in my client site ..
I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the
data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as
a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the
movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a
Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like
"12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as
HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells
me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem
to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display
it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing
a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I
know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm
lost ...

I have a message that scrolls across the top of the page,
it can work, refresh, work, refresh, fail, refresh, work, etc etc

Any thoughts ? Code:
Can someone offer some clarity on the issue of session time out. If I understand correctly the default is set to 20 minutes and is reset to 0 each time a call is made to the database - which could simply be a different page request (?).
I seem to be frustrating a number of users because they tend to linger on one page for a long time - in some instances reading info and in others writing, and re-writing, and scrutinizing their submissions on a couple of forms. Because I check (via an include file) for an active userID on every page....
they can complete their form and submit, but are then requested to log back in to the system...and the info they added IS in the database...but NOT associated with them due to the session time out. Of course, this creates some nasty data issues.
I'm looking for a better way to approch this issue. On the forms pages I've changed the session time out to 30...but wonder if that controls more than the page it is on? Dont know. And it does nothing to solve the issue of data entered and not being associated with a user.
Is there a way to offer a 'warning' to the user that their session is about to time out? Or should I be looking to refresh something within the page at certain intervals - my concern there is - can i refresh part of the page an not others - if a user is filling in a form - would a refresh to that page automatically clear the form?
