Those of us who use Visual Studio and similar tools for desktop application development are completely spoiled by the wide range of interface components available in the development environment. Sliders and menus, date pickers and datagrids – drag them, drop them, enter your parameters and off you go.
When it comes to building application interfaces for the Web and you are stuck with HTML (no Flash or JAVA) your options are rather limited to a pathetic drop of form elements.
One of the components that are clearly missing is the time picker –a form field that would allow a user to make a valid time selection.
You can see and test one in your Windows Date and Time Properties dialog, it’s the small text box with up and down buttons.
