945370 - Allow time inputs with a period

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

One student was typing "2.00" into some of the time boxes. What happened was that the change simply reverted itself - no error or explanation.

1) 2.00 should be interpreted either as "2 minutes", or "2 seconds", but should not be refused.

2) If we refuse a value, can we have better error reporting?

Yeah, should be converted to 0:02.

In all our time code conversion we consider a period to be a decimal to be used as fractions of a second.

I'll take a look to see where this is failing.

Err, should be converted to 0:00.2.

This is one time I wish I could edit a bugzilla ticket :(

Comment 3

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

yeah, scratch that, my original was correct. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll look into this closer tomorrow with a fresh head.

I never could reproduce this.

Is it happening to all time input boxes, or just some? Or does it happen to all, but only some of the time?

I only saw it over her shoulder, and may have mis-seen. If you can't reproduce, don't worry.
