Timepicker for jQuery Mobile, free to download
Hi Everyone. :)
I have written a timepicker control called EasyTimepicker for jQuery Mobile. My objective in designing this timepicker was to have a control that was simple to use and provided a simple select with time entries. I built this control mainly for use in an iphone web application and the native select looks very good on this platform; so I wanted the control to capitalized on this feature.
I like the way that jQuery Mobile takes the "code less, do more" mantra of jquery to a new level, allowing form elements to be defined without requiring any javascript. So I have tried to followed this same principle in the design of my timepicker and make it look and behave like other jQuery Mobile form elements. As such, the timepickers can be included on jQuery Mobile pages simply by adding <input type="time"> elements to the page. All elements of this type on all pages will automatically be enhanced to timepicker controls. No javascript required.
A demo is worth a thousand words, so here is a demo showing the timepicker in action. The source for this control is free and open source and can be be freely downloaded. I have tested this control on Firefox for Mac, Safari and iPhone Safari. I would appreciate comments/feedback or reporting on issues on other platforms; so send me a message on github if you wish to give feedback.
I really like jQuery Mobile and am enjoying working with it, and hope to see it continue to improve. So making this code available is my way of giving back to the community. I hope that it proves useful to other jQuery Mobile developers.
