cannot retrieve time (hours/minutes)

[fanalion]

I tried the following code:

var periodInit = new Date();
periodInit.setHours(8, 30, 0, 0);
$("#periodentry").datetimepicker("setDate", periodInit);
var periodVal = $("#periodentry").datetimepicker("getDate");
console.debug(periodVal);

The selected time 08:30 is set correctly (3rd line) in the widget but I didn't succeed in getting the time value back from the field. The last line prints:
Thu Jan 20 2011 00:00:00 GMT+0100 {}
in the Firebug's console. Using periodVal.getHours() / periodVal.getMinutes() returns 0. I expect 8 and 30 respectively.

Here's how I initialize the timepicker:

$("#periodentry").timepicker({
    ampm: false,
    hourMin: 2,
    hourMax: 16,
    hourGrid: 2,
    minuteGrid: 15,
    stepMinute: 5,
});

I would also like to see a getTime feature. Maybe should return todays date+the specified hour so you can create new Date object and threat further.

By the way this addon should be in UI core, it's just great :)

I would also like to see this implemented. It is very disappointing that a Datetime picker hasn't been developed into the core of jQuery UI.

May be I'll invest some time add add this feature. I'll post back here with progress if I go that way.

I'm not acquainted with how to contribute features on github so will need help.

Thanks.

Ok. I've created a pull request (#859).

The repo's contribution guide says to always fork the dev branch so did I. But now I see that the dev branch is way behind the master branch in terms of commits. Does that mean that everybody has been merging the master branch? Should I too?

dev branch is where you should send it. It has latest code (I pushed to it
earlier today)
