Re: JavaScript question

Q: are you trying to make ampm be either am or pm or are you checking ampm
to see if it's am or pm.

ampm = am ~ makes it equal to

ampm == am ~ checks if it's equal to

so
ampm = am
         if (hr > 12) {
          hour = hr -12
         ampm = pm
}

I learned this the other day when doing a screen width check, I was trying to
use ~ if (screen.width = 800) do this, which gave me errors because if should
have been ~ if (screen.width == 800) do this.

see the difference, in the first I'm trying to make screen.width be 800 whereas
the second checks to see IF screen.width is 800.

PS: I can't remember but isn't there a zero hundred hours in military time that
you will need to check for as well. I can't quite remember but I think 
there is.
