mualanj

i am using a train schedule script that genartes train schdule based upon the array value,

what i am trying to do is to set those array values from my text box, how can i do it? thx in advance.really appreciate the help.

<!-- Begin

stationname: array of station names in sequence with 1st station

timediff: array of times from 1st station

starting: array of departure times from 1st station

var nameStation = new Array("Startville", "Twoshire ", "Threeham ", "Fourhampton",

"Terminus ");

var timeDiff = new Array("0:00", "1:03", "1:18", "1:43", "0:153"); // time to last

station is 2 hours and 33 minutes = 153 minutes

var timeStart = new Array("12:00", "1:30", "3:05");

// initalize

var lines = new Array

nl = "\n";

t1 = "\t";

t2 = "\t\t";

i = 0;

function print2doc(){

// head the schedule

lines[0] = nameStation[i] +t1+ nameStation[++i] +t1+ nameStation[++i] +t1+

nameStation[++i] +t1+ nameStation[++i]+nl

//v = sumTime(timeStart[1],timeDiff[4]); alert(v); return	// this for

testing

// build the lines for printing

for (i=0; i<3; i++) { 

	lines[i+1] = timeStart[i] +t2+ sumTime(timeStart[i],timeDiff[1]) +t2+

sumTime(timeStart,timeDiff[2]) +t2+ sumTime(timeStart,timeDiff[3]) +t2+ sumTime

(timeStart,timeDiff[4]) + nl;

}

text = '<b><i>'+lines[0]+'</i></b>' + lines[1] +lines[2] + lines[3]

//alert(text)

// make a window for train schedule

nw = window.open("","popWin","width=600,height=200")

// write to window

nw.document.open();

nw.document.write("<html>\n<body bgcolor='lightsteelblue'>\n<h2

align='center'>Train Schedule</h2>\n<pre>\n");

nw.document.write(text);

nw.document.write("</pre>\n</body>\n</html>");

nw.document.close();

}

function sumTime(startT,deltaT){ // add times

time1 = startT.split(":");

time2 = deltaT.split(":");

hours = time1[0]/1 + time2[0]/1;		// add hours

minutes = time1[1]/1 + time2[1]/1;		// add minutes

if (minutes >=180) { hours++; minutes = minutes - 60; }		// bump hours if

needed

if (minutes >=120) { hours++; minutes = minutes - 60; }		// bump hours if

needed

if (minutes >= 60) { hours++; minutes = minutes % 60; }		// bump again if

needed

if (minutes < 10) minutes = "0" + minutes;

// add padding if required

time3 = hours +":"+ minutes

//alert(time3)

return time3	// return the total as a string

}

// End -->
