Jquery day and time help

paffley · 07-17-2011, 03:55 AM

Hi guys, I need some help and info with this code I have. It shows an id on certain days e.g. 0=sunday and so on...

Code:

    var rightNow = new Date(); 
    var day = rightNow.getDay();
    if (day == 0) { 
      $('#Shape1').show(); 
    } 
    if (day == 1) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
    if (day == 2) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
    if (day == 3) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
    if (day == 4) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
    if (day == 5) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
    if (day == 6) { 
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    } 
});

Everything works fine but what im needing now is to add a time function to make Shape1 to .hide at a certain time of the day if the #Shape1 is set to .show on lets say 'sunday'.

I add the var:

Code:

var hour = rightNow.getHours();

But this is the part im stuck with, heres my attempt...

Code:

    if (day == 0) { 
      $('#Shape1').show(); 
    }
    else {    
          if((hour>= 9) && (hour<= 17)) {
      $('#Shape1').hide(); 
    }

Any help is hugly appreciated.

Not quite

Code:

if (day == 0) { 
  if((hour>= 9) && (hour<= 17)) {
    $('#Shape1').hide(); 
  } else {
    $('#Shape1').show(); 
  }
}

Hi dev, thanks for the response but some how I cannot get it to hide...

this is what I have so far..

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var rightNow = new Date(); 
    var day = rightNow.getDay();
    var hour = rightNow.getHours();
    if (day == 0) { 
    if((hour>= 9) && (hour<= 17)) {
    $('#Shape1').hide(); 
  } else {
    $('#Shape1').show(); 
  }
}

Looks like you're just missing a closing }) there to close

Code:

$(document).ready(function{...

Hi SB, thanks for the reply, sorry im not understanding, do you mean the closing bracket at the end of the function or at the end of the full script?

I can see the open bracket just after the document ready function but im not ure were to place the closing bracket.

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {//open doc ready function
   var rightNow = new Date(); 
   var day = rightNow.getDay();
   var hour = rightNow.getHours();
   if (day == 0) { //start of if day condition
      if((hour>= 9) && (hour<= 17)) {//start of if hour condition
         $('#Shape1').hide(); 
      } else {//if hour else condition
         $('#Shape1').show(); 
      }//end of if hour else condition
   }//end of if day condition
});//end of doc ready function
