Populate Dropdown With Times

Question

I am trying to populate a dropdown box with times from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm in fifteen minute increments.  I know that I could manually populate the dropdown box with this information, however I was wondering if there was a way that I could populate it with javascript.  I am fairly new to javascript, so I will need a detailed guide.

Sure. Just change the first line to:var times = [""];

You can do it using this code:

var times = [];
for (var i=0; i<=11; i++) {
	for (var j=0; j<=45; j+=15) {
		var hour = (i<10) ? "0"+i : i;
		var minute = (j<10) ? "0"+j : j;
		times.push(hour + ":" + minute + " am")
	}
}
for (var j=0; j<=45; j+=15) {
	var hour = "12";
	var minute = (j<10) ? "0"+j : j;
	times.push(hour + ":" + minute + " pm")
}
for (var i=1; i<=11; i++) {
	for (var j=0; j<=45; j+=15) {
		var hour = (i<10) ? "0"+i : i;
		var minute = (j<10) ? "0"+j : j;
		times.push(hour + ":" + minute + " pm")
	}
}
this.getField("Time").setItems(times);
