Remove hour from time input

Question

Is there a way to display an input with type time, so that only display mm:ss instead of hh:mm:ss? Note it only needs to work in latest chrome.

Answer 1

Sadly, this is quite a really new feature, and you can't do that for now ; HTML5 specifications states that the time input should accept a valid partial-time as defined in RFC 3339 1

This specification defines partial-time as 2 :

time-hour ":" time-minute ":" time-second

In fact, these definitions are used to represent the wire format, then the browser is able to show this input like he wants ; basically, Chrome displays time input according to the user locale, so you can't really have an hand on it 3.
