    desperate script help please

    Any gurus please help

    I am trying to get a script to work the following paragraph out for our college.

    Welcome to the College timetable reminder. The current term is
    W2004 and the current time is 10:39 AM. This means that there are 31 minutes left until the next class starts at 11:10 AM. It also mean that the last class started 29 minutes ago.

    The bolded items must all be dynamically computed, accurate and be able to be written into an HTML document using JavaScript in particular using the Date object.

    The college works on a three term system. The terms are Autumn beginning September - Winter beginning January - Spring/Summer beginning May.

    The terms are usually designated by a letter code followed by the year. For example A2000 is Autumn 2000, W1998 was the Winter 1998 term and P2001 the Spring/Summer 2001 term.
    Also the college works an hourly schedule from 9:AM to 9:PM with classes starting at ten minutes past the hour every hour.

    Hoping that someone can please help me out with the script - I'm desperate

    All help much appreciated

        I've got a ticking solution (I thought it was a cool challenge), but I've got the same concerns as glenngv.

        I got a nice reusable function out of it, though. Check it out over in this other thread...

          Just Remarks to jalarie script.

          1:It don't show the rigth amount of minutes to next lesson if the current time is between X:00-X:10 X being any hour, this result in it saying that there are 60+N minutes to next class, when infact there is only N minutes to next class,and the ago shows -N, when the correct is infact 60-N.
          Simple Soution:
          put this code
          Code:
          if(Ago<0)
{
  Ago=60+Ago;
  Left=Left-60;
}
          after this code in the script:
          Code:
          Next=Now_H+1;
Left=60-Now_N+10;
Ago=Now_N-10;
          2:It don't detect if it before or after 9 in the morning nite making it say that even after the classes end thats there one in the next hour.


          Remark to this idea in general

          1. school computer clocks are notoriously wrong making the script show wrong times, at least they are in my schools

            I, also, believe that this is a school assignment. If charter simply needs a boost to get started, it's there but he'll need to put forth some effort to understand it and make it his own. If he turns it in as-is as his own work, then he deserves whatever he gets.

            Garadon's observations are also valid. Charter should work these out on his own.
            Having said that, I've probably told you more than I know.

              Sorry if i've confused anyone but I'm not a student, I'm a teacher.

              I'm just a newbie with JavaScript and I am trying to work out a timetable.

              Many thanks for your contributions.
