Easier Time Inputs With jQuery Timepicker
12
Nov
jQuery.timepickr.js is a jQuery plugin that makes filling time inputs very easy.
With a maximum of 2 clicks, a user can fill the form & there is also a keyboard navigation support too.
Usage is so simple. Call the timepickr function with the id of the form to be transformed & that’s all.
The plugin is unostrusive & degrades gracefully.

I see this plugin demonstrated all over the place, but it looks terrible in IE and is very slow. It also reloads the bg images on every mouseover. I know IE is a pain in the ass but its a necessary evil. Also, I don’t consider it to degrade nicely as usually you will use dropdowns instead of a single text input for time.
Degrades nicely, maybe. Usable, no. Programmers may get it, thats their job to deal with UI. A non programmer user will not get it. And as a proof, one of the drupal engineers did a sample test on 10 users with expected results: They did not get it.
So typical for web developers to look at something flashy and sing its praise, without really understanding what it is. Maybe thats why they like jquery, it reduces the knowledge level to a point where your average web developer can get things done without understanding.
