Time Validation question

Question

I am using the time validation and it works well, however my
case (which I think would be common) doesn't seem to be supported,
or I am just not sure how to configure. I want someone to enter in
a time such as '8:45 AM' or '11:30 PM'. It seems as though it
requires either a leading zero, or a single diget, but not a way to
do both. The code below allows for the '8:45 PM' option. But not
11:45 PM.
<script type="text/javascript">
var eventtime = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("eventtime", "time", {format:"h:mm
tt", hint:"8:00 AM", validateOn:["blur", "change"],
useCharacterMasking:true});
</script>
The example on this page is forces the leading zero.

Am I missing something or does that pretty much require users
to always do leading zero in order to enter the full range of
time?

Answer 1

The textfield validation widget implementation doesn't
support variable length for time format. To cover your use-case you
might use the "hh:mm:tt" format and add the leading zero for single
digit case.
The time formats that are accepted are: "HH:mm" (default),
"HH:mm:ss", "hh:mm tt", "hh:mm:ss tt", "hh:mm t", "hh:mm:ss t".
