Date Time Picker customization

[shill]

From a request we had by the process owners of change, we developed a onLoad client script to set the DateTime picker to default to zeros on the time entry so when the icon is clicked, the time is defaulted to 00:00:00 in the popup.

Here is our current code

function onLoad() {
     setDatePickerTime('start_date');
     setDatePickerTime('end_date');
     setDatePickerTime('requested_by_date');
     setDatePickerTime('work_start');
     setDatePickerTime('work_end');
   
function setDatePickerTime(field){
     //Attach an event listener to set default time value for date picker
     Event.observe(g_form.getControl(field).next('a'), 'click', function() {
           $('GwtDateTimePicker_hh').value = '00';
           $('GwtDateTimePicker_mm').value = '00';
           $('GwtDateTimePicker_ss').value = '00';
     });
}   
}

Works fine in Aspen, but not in Berlin. We are getting java errors in IE and although we do not get errors in Chrome/Firefox, it does not change the time entries to zeros.
Does anyone have any ideas what changes I might make to allow this to work again in Berlin?

yes, will you paste your code so I can look it over?

hi,

trying as below

function setDatePickerTime(field){

//Attach an event listener to set default time value for date picker

var linkElement = $(g_form.getControl(field).id).next();

if (linkElement !== undefined) {

alert(linkElement);

Event.observe($(g_form.getControl(field).id).next(), 'click', function() {             setTimeout("$('GwtDateTimePicker_hh').value = '00';$('GwtDateTimePicker_mm').value = '00';$('GwtDateTimePicker_ss').value = '00';",300);     });

}

}

Here is what I'm using.

This is an onload client script.

function setDatePickerTime(field, hour){

      if(g_form.getValue(field)!=''){

              return;

      }

    //Attach an event listener to set default time value for date picker

    Event.observe($(g_form.getControl(field).id).next(), 'click', function() {

          setTimeout("$('GwtDateTimePicker_hh').value = " + hour +";$('GwtDateTimePicker_mm').value = '00';$('GwtDateTimePicker_ss').value = '00';",300);

    });

}

Hi Shannon,

I tried this as well but it is still not working, I forgot to mention that i am trying this in scoped application.

Please let me know if you can help me on this.

Hi Girish,

I saw a post on a website a few weeks ago about scoped apps not having access to the DOM.   I can't seem to find that post anymore, otherwise I would refer you to it.   I'm pretty sure that is the problem you are running into.   When I get some time, I will test it out in a scoped app and see if I can make it work.
