Question

Working with time fields

Sorry, I am a beginner but cannot find the exact answer in the previous questions.

I have an adobe form with a text field (formatted to time HH:MM) in which the user enters a time in the format HH:MM. There is another text field, this one returns a numerical calculated value (which varies dependent on other inputs). I need the form to be able to add the value of the second field to the inputted time and return the answer in a third text field as a time in HH:MM. Please help

This code should do the trick:

event.value = "";
var startTime = this.getField("StartTime").valueAsString;
if (startTime!="") {
    var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", "01/01/2017 " + startTime);
    var v = this.getField("AddTime").valueAsString;
    if (v!="") {
        var addTimeHours = Number(v);
        var msPerHour = 3600000;
        d.setTime(d.getTime() + (addTimeHours * msPerHour));
        event.value = util.printd("HH:MM", d);
    }
}
