Description Vineet Chaudhary (vineetc) 2011-09-15 05:44:57 PDT
The main objective is to add the files for html elements also providing the initial implementation to support the tag.
Latest Opera(11.51) also have support for this.

Specification reference:

Comment 3 Vineet Chaudhary (vineetc) 2011-09-15 06:15:02 PDT
Attached patch consist of initial implementation of HTML5 time tag.
Below listed items are work in progress.

1) If datetime attribute is not present, then the element's textContent must be considered if valid.
2) pubdate needs to be supported.

Test Case

Attached test case explains the usage of time tag.

Also can someone help me to add the new files to xcode project.

Why does this have Apple copyright?

Why do we need to notify?

Should compare with DateComponents::Invalid.

> +    return 0;

You must not return 0. The specification says we must return null Date in this case.

Done.

> +    return 0;

Corrected.

Also checking if datetime attribute is not present, then the element's 
textContent must be considered if valid.

Comment 10 Vineet Chaudhary (vineetc) 2011-09-20 06:54:12 PDT
My motive to implement this tag is fill the gap between specification and webkit and considering potential usage could be in the Calenders(to set the event), blogs & news feeds where <time> may add more semantic.

But as there is an active discussion going on http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13240 this thread about replacing <time> with <data>, So I think we should revisit this implementation after the closer of mentioned bug.

Please guide me if anyone have second thought on this.

Added tests with patch.
As a part of discussion going http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Nov/0011 <time> is again to added in w3c-spec.
May I start working on this again and have this basic implementation as template for Time Element?

The status of <time> is not clear yet. e.g. WHATWG specification still has no <time>.
IMO, we should not start the implementation yet.
Comment 13 Adam Barth 2011-11-13 22:55:54 PST
Yeah, <time> seems to be in serious state of flux.  Let's let things settle down a bit before jumping in here.
Comment 14 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-11-18 16:30:19 PST
I just uploaded a proposal for a new <time> to the HTML spec on the WHATWG site. Still in flux, but now's a good time to send feedback.
Comment 15 Vineet Chaudhary (vineetc) 2011-11-19 01:19:53 PST
Thank you Hixie for updates.

As I see here are few updates with new implementation. 
Ref : http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element

1) Now there are no pubDate(can used with itemprop) and valueAsDate attribute but datetime.

2) The datetime value of a time element is the value of the element's datetime content attribute, if it has one, or the element's textContent, if it does not.

Just a query do we really don't want previous "Date valueAsDate" attribute as it could be useful to get date or time in the form of Date object.
Comment 16 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-11-19 21:20:17 PST
The plan regarding the API is to see what people do with the element before deciding what API to expose. (In practice so far most usage of the element that I have seen would have no use for an API.)
Comment 19 Anne van Kesteren 2023-05-15 00:27:33 PDT
This element has an implementation now.
