How do I create a time field that's export value is 3 hours ahead of the current time?

I need to create a field on one of our forms that takes the current time from another field and adds 3 hours to it. The JavaScript to pull the current time is:
var tm = this.getField("Time");
if(tm.value == '' || tm == ' ') tm.value =
util.printd("HH:MM tt",new Date());

Does your posted script work as expected?
It does not fill-in the field for me.
Is that code to get the time from a field or set the time for a field?
Is the field you are trying to update?
A time string for a computation is very limited or error prone unless it includes the date. There are many locations in the world that still observe Day Light Savings Time or Summer/Winter time and the time either moves forward one hour or falls back one hour at a certain date and time as prescribed by national or local law. So if one want to add 3 hours 1 hour before the time sift for the spring that would be 11:00pm adding 3 hours would result in a time value of 3:00 am the next day and not 2:00 am the next day. The hour between 1:00 am and 2:00 am does not exist for the local time zone.

  • How do I create a text field that can be manipulated by the user?

    I have created a form that will be changed by the user from month to month. In this form they may have the need to make some of the font bold.
    The text fields that will end up being bold will not be the same every time so I can't format the field to be bold.
    Is there any way to allow the user to be able to choose whether a text field is bold or not?
    Thanks,
    T_Sands

    Thanks GKaiseril. When I do that and go to preview the form I see where the properties are listed as an option, but they are in light gray so I can't select them. Any idea why this is happening?

  • How do I create a new document that is 8" X 8" and with Print as the document profile?

    Page 47 in Chris Botello's Adobe Illustrator CS6 of Cengage's Illustrated Series asks this for the Independent Challenge for Unit B.  "Create a new document that is 8" X 8" and with Print as the document profile." As long as its CMYK it's "Print". Right?  If I go and change the size the profile goes custom. I'm a Graphic Design Student at a local university. If there are others who have used this book, Please giver me a holler. I wonder what they want there? You think they want to change the "Print" profile? That hasn't been covered. I'm on CC not CS6 but haven't found differences in that area. Probably just not written very clearly.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Monika,
    I hate it when I fixate on what should be easy. It's probably just a poorly worded task. I don't think it will blow my GPA.

  • How do I create a text field that automatically enters the same info on proceeding pages

    I know this is a basic question for Acrobat Pro, but I'm a newbie at it.  Basically, I work with pdf forms in education and I would like to figure out a way where if I enter for example someone's birthdate in page 1, and it automatically enters it in pages 2, 3, 4 and so on of the same document.
    Also, along the same lines, is there an easy way to be able to edit multiple pages of a document at once. Example: A lot of the people at my office that use the copy and paste feature in the pdf documents, and often overlook changing the "he" to a "she" and "his" to a "her" and as a result we end up with filled forms that use the incorrect sex.
    I apologize in advance if I'm not being very clear, but is the best way I can describe my problem.
    Thanks

    1. You can duplicate the field. Right-click it using the Select Object Tool and select Duplicate. You can then select the page range.
    Otherwise, you can copy&paste it, or create a new field and give it the same name as the original.
    2. No.

  • Java always returns 15 minutes greater than the current time.

    Hi,
    I am using Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2,Standard X64 edition with Service Pack 2 and jdk1.6.0-03.
    Java always returns time 15 minutes greater than the current system time.
    eg:
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    System.out.println("Now time: "+simpleDateFormat.format(new Date()));
    System.out.println("Now time: "+new Date());The output of the program is :
    Now time: 2008-12-22 18:47:04
    Now time: Mon Dec 22 18:47:04 NPT 2008
    When my actual system time is 6:32 PM or (18:32)
    I have checked the current time with other programming languages like python and it always returns the actual date and time.
    Note: To my observation java is always utilizing a time which is 15 minutes greater than the current time even for its log.
    Thanks,
    Rajeswari (Msys)

    I think a more practical time machine would be one that actually travels back in time rather than forward (by 15 minutes). Sounds like it needs some more work.
    Anyway, I suggest changing the system time on your computer to some other value (say, 2 hours ahead), then running the program again. If its off by 2 hours and 15 minutes, its getting the time from your computer. However, if its still off by only 15 minutes (from your wristwatch's time), then its getting the time form somehere other than the computer clock.

  • How to create a Date or time field that automatically saves current date or time?

    hello,
    i want to know that how to create a Date/Time field that automatically shows current Date/Time when .pdf form is opened.
    also want to how to stop user to give input in Date/Time field
    currently im putting a Date field but it is accepting user input.
    hoping for quick response
    Thanks in advance!

    You can place the below code in the initialize event of the field to display the current date and time.
    Set the language to FormCalc.
    You can play around the formats to get the desired format of date and time.
    if($.rawValue eq null or $.rawValue eq "") then
    $.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")," ", Num2Time(Time(), "h:MM:SS A"));
    endif
    You can not restrict the input area in Date time field instead you can validate the input while existing the field.
    (OR) set the field to either readOnly or protected mode.
    Thanks

  • How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

    Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees.

    I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
    but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
    - You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
    not to use them and it will make your life easier.
    - If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
    mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
    calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
    theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
    local variables (sequences also complicate things)
    - You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
    than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
    absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
    of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
    the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
    terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
    - After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
    and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
    Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
    iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
    of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
    on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
    your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
    to keep previous values around.
    I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
    detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
    code suggestions for you.

    By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
    For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
    This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
    . simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
    . more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,

  • How can I create a multi field search with wildcard option

    I've been working on a project which has a MySQL database
    that the user can search by choosing to enter some or all of three
    fields in a form on a PHP page, which then, obviously, relate to
    specific variables and fields in the database.
    Previously I had the default values of the variables as '-1'
    which meant that the results page simply ignored any of the
    variables that hadn't been filled in. However, now that the 8.0.2
    update to Dreamweaver has forced the Type of each variable, it no
    longer ignores those values and so returns no results. In order to
    get a correct result I have to fill in all three, I can't just fill
    in one of the fields.
    What do I have to do to regain the functionality of the
    results page simply ignoring any field that isn't filled in
    (effectively giving a 'any' value)?

    When building SQL statement, leave out the WHERE
