Example shows time-zone offset in the datetime attribute without a date, <time datetime="16:30-5:00">4:30 p.m.</time>. The validator returns an error for this construction. I tried both as shown on the page, datetime="16:30-5:00", and with an added 0, datetime="16:30-05:00". I looked at the HTML specification, and it doesn't specify hh:mm with the time-zone offset, only datetime="hh:mm" or datetime="tz". Apparently, to specify the time zone on a time, and this was corroborated by comments on the web, I have to enter two <time datetime="hh:mm"><time datetime="tz"> elements, one specifying the time and the other specifying the time-zone offset if the date is not included. Clunky. Note from the Author or Editor: |
