Convert minutes to Hours and Minutes

[Bren]

Hi There

It's getting late and my brain is feeling like a Larne sausage :-)

What I want to achieve is to convert a total number of minutes into a more
readable format of hours:minutes.

At present I have a variable containing the total number of minutes for a
group of tasks and I want to display that total as hours and minutes.

e.g varTotalTime = 184

I want to dispaly that as Toal Time Taken = 3hrs 4mins

TIA

Regards
Bren

VBScript:

hours = vartotalTime \ 60
minutes = vartotalTime Mod 60

Sorry what server model are you using, tipically you can get this by
reading the documentation on the date() function. In coldfusion you even
got the LS (locale set).

Within dreamweaver you can configure this by doing a recordset and on that
recordset panel move to the right and clicking on the date field and it
will display different encoding options, if the field is a date, then it
will put the different date formats.
