How do I see the value format in which time or a date is stored in those fields?

I have an app that works. When I run it in the test center and input values in the date and time fields, I would like to see how the date and time is stored. How do I do this?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Celeste,

All dates are calculated in milliseconds from 01 January, 1970 00:00:00 Universal Time (UTC) with a day containing 86,400,000 milliseconds.

Which is the official definition although not particularly helpful.

For pretty detailed information on how to manipulate these beasties try:

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp

Although W3Schools has been ridiculed in the past for some rather schoolboy errors, I have found that latterly they are fairly reliable and this page in particular seems to be pretty good.

Is there a way to create a test function that displays values of input elements for a beginning date, beginning time, end date and end time (what’s stored in all 4 of them)?

Can I do an alert or console log? If so, how do I go about doing this.

Thanks,

Celeste

Hi Celeste,

Apologies for the delay, we have been short handed due to summer vacations. Do you still need assistance? If yes, could you provide a mock up of your requirements, and more details about the fields?
