Bug in CF7 built in time validation?

Question

I'm using cfform and cfinput on a textbox, this is what I'm
using to recreate the error:
If I enter a time between 20:00 and 20:59 I get an error,
otherwise as far as I can tell any other time validates.
This error does not happen on our CF6 boxes, just CF7.

thebuddhist -
The problem you are having is a result of a coding error in
the cfform.js file and the
other problem that Dan is indicating, is that a non-valid
time like 20:63 can be entered
and it will process as a valid time.
================================
cfform.js - CFIDE folder - able to change
================================
If you have the ability to change the cfform.js file on the
server then try this:
on or about line 492, you will find some code like below,
change the [1-4]
to [0-3]
var result = _CF_checkregex(object_value,
/^(([0-1]?[0-9]|[2][1-4]) :
([0-5]?[0-9])(:[0-5]?[0-9])?).?([AP]M|[AP]m|[ap]m|[ap]M)?$/,
required);
return result;
===> Change to below:
var result = _CF_checkregex(object_value,
/^(([0-1]?[0-9]|[2][0-3]) :
([0-5]?[0-9])(:[0-5]?[0-9])?).?([AP]M|[AP]m|[ap]m|[ap]M)?$/,
required);
return result;
and all should work fine.
===================================
cfform.js - CFIDE folder - not able to change
===================================
If this is located at a hosting service and they will not
change the cfform.js
to the above, then copy your cfform.js to the same folder as
the form is in
of course with the change made.
Then on the cfform tag, add the following attribute:
scriptsrc="."
Mine is like below:
<cfform action="formname.cfm" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" scriptsrc=".">
This should then call the cfform.js file within the folder
for processing the time elements.
=====================================================================
As for the other problem, this is what I did to work around
it:
On the action page I added this coding:
<cfset MidNight_A =
DateAdd("h",1,CreateTime(23,00,00))>
<cfset MidNight_B =
DateAdd("h",0,CreateTime(00,00,00))>
<cfif #form.StartTime lt #MidNight_A# AND
#form.StartTime# gt #MidNight_B# AND
#form.StopTime# lt #MidNight_A# AND
#Form.StopTime# gt #MidNight_B#>
process time fields
<cfelse>
Valid times were not entered.
</cfif>
This may not be the best practice / prettiest way to work
around the non-valid
time format. However, it seems to function fine for me (so
far). I am certainly
open to suggestions of a better way to accomplish the task if
there is one.
