Fake a percentage depending on the time of day

[a55m0nk]

Hi all.

How could I go about creating a percentage that is created from the time of the day. So, for example at 20:00 it will be 90%, 21:00 will be 86% etc. Could it be done with Ifs:
If 21:00 < time < 21:59 then
percentage = 96

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You could do that like so:

<script>
<!--
obj = new Date();
hour = obj.getHours();

if (hour == 21) {
	pct = 86;
} else {
	alert(hour);
}
//-->
</script>

But it would be better not to go through and define the percentage for each hour. Something like this would be nice:

<script>
<!--
obj = new Date();
hour = obj.getHours();
pct = Math.round(hour * 4.285);
alert(pct);
//-->
</script>
