The precision for time goes in both ways: less accurate and less absolute. And there are two kinds: point in time (i.e. when), and amount of time. (It's less confusing in Chinese, but we're conversing in English. *shrug*) Point in time: Absolute times: year-month-day-hour-minute-second Equinox year-month-day-hour-minute Plane is scheduled to arrive year-month-day-hour Desired departure time, hour precision year-month-day-(morning|afternoon|evening...) Desired departure time year-month-day Date of birth year-month Graduation date year-week not used in my locale :) year -> number Scoped times: month-day Holiday weekday-time Weekly teleconference weekday -> select time Daily backup time, no zoneinfo Hour of sunrise, lunch hour weekday-time would work fine with a select box for the weekday, I think Amount of time: hour-minute Preparation time minutes -> number minute-second Mile run time seconds -> number ~fantasai -- http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/contact
