mins = parseInt(appTime.substr(2,4));
var ampm = "am";
if (hours > 12) {
ampm = "pm";
hours = hours - 12;
}

Hi,

We recommend that you read up on using javascript to use with IVR code.

As for your question, "&&" is supported, as shown in this javascript example for the <script> tag:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()
if (time<10)
{
document.write("<b>Good morning</b>");
}
else if (time>10 && time<16)
{
document.write("<b>Good day</b>");
}
else
{
document.write("<b>Hello World!</b>");
}
</script>

Hope this helps.

I'm familiar with javascript. Actually when i use <script type="text/javascript"> and try to validate the code using the plumvoice validator it says "No declaration for attribute type of element script"

And even give the same error if i use && in else if () condition.

Please help me

Hi

why is the below code not validated by validator. if i replace && by || then it get validated.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
<form id="new_appointment_main_frm">
<property name="timeout" value="30s"/>
<script>
var hours = parseInt(appTime.substr(0,2));
var mins = parseInt(appTime.substr(2,4));
var ampm = "am";
if (hours>12) {
ampm = "pm";
hours = hours - 12;
}
else if (hours==12 && mins>0) {
ampm = "pm";
}
var formattedTime = hours + ":" + mins + " " + ampm;
</script>
</form>
</vxml>

Hi,

Have you tried changing the ">" character to ">" within your voicexml <script> tags of your IVR code? It is regarded as an illegal character in VXML.
