This online Alarm Clocks, work as a 24-hour time format, also known as military time. This means that the user inputs the alarm time in hours and minutes using a 24-hour format, for example, 14:30 for 2:30 pm.
An online alarm clock typically works by utilizing a combination of JavaScript and other web technologies such as HTML and CSS. JavaScript is used to set the alarm time, calculate the remaining time until the alarm goes off, and to play the alarm sound. The alarm time is usually set by the user through an input element, such as a time picker or text field, on the webpage.
Once the user sets the alarm time, the script calculates the remaining time until the alarm goes off by subtracting the current time (which is determined by the user's device clock) from the alarm time. This remaining time is then displayed on the webpage, typically as a countdown timer.
When the alarm goes off, the script triggers the alarm sound, typically using the HTML5 Audio object. The sound can be an mp3 file that is loaded from the website's server or a predefined sound by the browser ( for example beep ).
The script also checks for the browser permission to play the sound. If the user has not granted permission, the website will prompt the user to allow the sound.
Once the alarm goes off, the script stops the countdown timer and the alarm sound, and may display a message such as "Wake up!" on the webpage. Some advanced online alarm clocks have options like snooze button and a feature of choosing the alarm sounds from a variety of options.
In summary, the online alarm clock works by using JavaScript to set the alarm time, calculate the remaining time until the alarm goes off, and to play the alarm sound. The user sets the alarm time through an input element on the webpage, and the script counts down to the alarm time and triggers the alarm sound when the time is reached.
