Touchton: Iateadonut so go with something like this, but now there’s another question – why are you suggesting an email i’ve already entered?
Hudkins: It’s adding an email to ’emailTo’ – my hope was to have it be more fluid so you wouldn’t have to click an ‘add’ button.
Stuckey: But i guess i’ll just do that.
Hengel: Have what be more fluid?
Wischner: I don’t understand what your end goal is.
Hinnant: Entering multiple email addresses.
Doyer: Robertmaxrees: gimme me some donut too!
Ghazi: Hello everybody, I’ve a problem, I have a clock made with javascript, it only shows the current time, that part is easy, but it should show the server time, my problem is when the client has a different time, only seconds, it will fail, somebody knows a good way to sync the time against the server time ?
Gassel: Iateadonut you really want something more like a tagging setup.
Fitchpatrick: Germanaz0 populate a variable in the page with the server time on load and display that, updating it every second.
Townes: Germanaz0 or publish the UTC offset and use something like moment.js and go that route
Grage: To use moment, is a smart idea
Bracher: The thing to publish the time and increase every second, is that the clock is not well accurated using setInterval
Hererra: SetInterval lose some miliseconds sync
Barick: Robertmaxrees, what would be a good keyword to google to learn about a ‘tagging setup’?
Menjivar: Germanaz0 what are you actually trying to build?
Panak: Showing my server time
Lanzarin: The problem is that when I have for example, 00:00:00 and the client has 00:03:05
Alnutt: Is not showing well the minut and seconds
Kaucher: Germanaz0 that’s why you use moment and poll the client for its current time, then display that time.
Thomeczek: Well that example is not good, is when I have 00:00:00 and the client 03:05:45
Montoure: Doing the time difference, shows 00:05:45
Eiben: Germanaz0 doens’t change my point. if you really need the client and the server to be identical, don’t update client-side at all.
Rayne: Refresh the page or use ajax/sockets to update on a fixed interval.
Klitsch: Iateadonut search for something like “jquery tagging”
Crago: Girdler: but the fixed interval is still wrong
Mcinally: Germanaz0 that’s why you ask the server on the interval.
Newey: I could not fix the difference
Ade: I will show you a code
Aveles: Germanaz0 which is why you ask the server for its time and offset to the client-side time.
Donalson: Like, you have to pick one or the other.
Pulse: The client and server will never agree on the current time.
Holt: So if you need things to “sync”, you need to use one and offset to get the other.
Purtell: If you care more about the server time, ask it and then offset for the client. but the two will never match.
Welde: Would you mind to show me an example ?
Wohlfahrt: I will show you what I’ve first
Shiers: I’m not going to write anything for you – i’m telling you that the client and server clocks will never be accurate against one another.
Bente: Ok, so I should use server clock to get offset
Mullan: I wouldn’t even display the client side time to the user.
Davidowicz: They have a clock on their screen already.
Leidich: But my clock need to tick
Kong: It’s going to be imprecise then.
Carrow: And how to update that clock always ?
Greenham: If I’m using the server time
Lundeby: You’ll need to use something like socket.io
Manivong: Or ditch the seconds and reload the widget/refresh the data every x minutes.
