javascript - Changing a Date & Time input (AnyTime picker) into a date object to get the seconds -

im using anytime picker date , time (start date& time) in format "%d/%m/%y %h:%i:%s", im trying input converted date object use getseconds() seconds , add duration(in seconds) end time , date.

how can convert input?

<input id="choosetime" name="choosetime" type="text" maxlength="16" size="20" value="">    var anytimeformat = "%d/%m/%y %h:%i:%s"; anytime.picker( "choosetime", {       format: anytimeformat,       firstdow: 1  });   var schedule_start_time = new date($("#choosetime").val()); var schedule_end_time = new date(); schedule_end_time.setseconds(schedule_start_time.getseconds() + durationinsecs); 

basically problem input current date , time on computer. anytime picker input selected doesnt work. did did wrongly. have feeling way im converting choosetime new date. how can it, need help!

the picker initializes date/time in input field. if value in input field not valid date/time (or not in format specify), defaults current time. if field blank, case.

if want different starting date/time, set value of field when create it. can use jquery's .val() method or dom .value property. sure value right format, use anytime.converter such as:

var anytimeformat = "%d/%m/%y %h:%i:%s"; $('#choosetime').val( (new anytime.converter( { format:anytimeformat})).format( new date(2014,11,2,0,0,0) ) ); anytime.picker( "choosetime", { format: anytimeformat, firstdow: 1 });
