LESSON 08 – THE DATE CLASS

WORK

QUESTION 1

Write the script needed to display a message depending on the time.

Time Message

5AM – 12PM “Good morning”

12PM – 6PM “Good afternoon”

6PM – 10PM “Good evening”

10PM – 5AM “Good night”

You can test your script by changing the time on your computer to a different time range and then opening the page.

Hint: You need to work with the 24 hour clock. The number for 5PM is actually 17.

Hint 2: You will have to use the && to check that the hour is greater than a number and less than another.

Hint 3: You will probably have to use the || for the condition of the “Good night” if statement.

QUESTION 2

Get the user to enter their birth date. Then tell the user the day of the week on which they were born.

QUESTION 3

Create a form with a button. When the button is clicked, the window pops up showing the message “The webpage was open for x seconds before you clicked the button.”

Hint 1: You need to create a Date object when the page is loaded. To do this, place the following code inside the body section.

<script type="text/javascript">

var d1 = new Date();

</script>

Hint 2: When the button is clicked, it will execute a function. Inside that function, you need to create a 2^nd date object.

Hint 3:Inside the function, once you have your two Date objects, you can do the calculations using.

ellapsedSeconds = difference of hour * 3600 + difference of minutes * 60 + difference of seconds
