Question

I have simple little js function that is called by a custom validator for a textbox, basically to check if a time falls outside of a particular range.. the format of the time is ‘hh:mm‘
the ranges are written to js variables by the asp.net page read from the web.config..

here is the offending bit of the function..

function WarnOfOOOFlightTime(source, e){
    var val = e.Value.split(':');
    var minVal = oooMin.split(':');
    var maxVal = oooMax.split(':');

    var valHrs = parseInt(val[0]); //"07" here parses to 7
    var valMins = parseInt(val[1]);

    var minValHrs = parseInt(minVal[0]); //"08" here parses to 0!
    var minValMins = parseInt(minVal[1]);

....

sure its something simple, but I am not getting it..
as usual any help much appreciated

thanks

You need to add the radix parameter to parseInt(), otherwise it’ll attempt to treat numbers with leading zeroes as octal.

var n = parseInt(str, 10);
