extJS: VType for validating a time

I needed a VType for validating a time using the extJs framework in the format HH:MM (24 hour clock, no ‘AM’ or ‘PM’) and couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill, so a tweaked version is:

Ext.form.VTypes[“timeVal”] = /^([0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9])$/i;
Ext.form.VTypes[“timeMask”] = /[\d\s:amp]/i;
Ext.form.VTypes[“timeText”] = ‘Not a valid time.  Must be in the format hh:mm”.’;
Ext.form.VTypes[“time”] = function(v)
{
    return Ext.form.VTypes[“timeVal”].test(v);
}

• A decent collection of VTypes (one of which forms the basis of the one above)
• Advanced Data Validation using ExtJs (a good overview of VTypes)
• Displaying Form Submit Errors by Saki (Mixing it up with VTypes and server-side validation)
