If store is open?

[schart]

I’ve got this code that basically says that if it’s Monday, Tuesday or Thursday and the clock is more than 09:00 and less than 15:00 then we show that it’s open, if else it’s closed.

What is wrong with my code?

var currentTime = new Date();

var day = currentTime.getDate();

var datePlace = document.getElementById("datePlace");

var hour = currentTime.getHours();

if ((day == "1" | day == "2" | day == "4") && (hours<15 && hours>9)){

datePlace.innerHTML = "Me er åpne!";

}else{

datePlace.innerHTML = "Me er stengt!";

}

After marking this as solved, I guess I could give out the code that I ended up with :)

var currentTime = new Date();



var hour = currentTime.getHours();

var day = currentTime.getDay();



var datePlace = document.getElementById("datePlace");







if ((day == "1" || day == "2" || day == "4") && (hour<15 && hour>9)){

datePlace.innerHTML = "Me er opne!";

$("#datePlace").css("text-shadow", "0px 0px 1px lightgreen");

}else{

datePlace.innerHTML = "Me er stengt!";

}

Hi schart!

It should be currentTime.getDay(); not currentTime.getDate(); to get the day of the week.

The other really big problem with that code is that it’ll work fine on your local computer, but people in a different time zone will see the time offset, so you may need to use an online clock with GMT – check out this answer on StackOverflow.

I’d also use PHP or something else server-side for this, personally.
