Hi

I am having a pdf form that includes three cells:

start Time

end Time

Duration

The user will enter the start time and end time in HH:MM and the file will calculate the duration In HH:MM

I want your help in building a JavaScript code because I need the file but my skills are basic in JavaScrip. Name of the cells are same as mentioned on the top.

Thanks in advance.

You can start by reading these articles on the Date object, which is what you'll need for calculating duration.

The example in the second article shows how to calculate the time between two times.
