The problem lies partially in my negligence and partially in the documentation's organization.
At the very bottom of this page, there's a section labeled "Internationalization/Localization," where the option I've been trying to use, timeOutput
, is located.
What I didn't notice is that at the top of the list of options, there's a note that reads:
NOTE:: To override, use overrideNameOfOption - e.g. overrideTimeFormat
So, that said, it turns out that you do have to override the timeOutput
option by setting it as follows:
$("input[type=time]").datebox({
mode: "timebox",
zindex: 2100,
useNewStyle: true,
centerHoriz: true,
centerVert: true,
useClearButton: true,
overrideTimeFormat: 12,
overrideTimeOutput: "%l:%M %p"
});
