Uncaught TypeError: .indexOf is not a function

by

Basically indexOf() is a method belongs to string(array object also), But while calling the function you are passing a number, try to cast it to a string and pass it.

document.getElementById("oset").innerHTML = timeD2C(timeofday + "");


 var timeofday = new Date().getHours() + (new Date().getMinutes()) / 60;




 function timeD2C(time) { // Converts 11.5 (decimal) to 11:30 (colon)
    var pos = time.indexOf('.');
    var hrs = time.substr(1, pos - 1);
    var min = (time.substr(pos, 2)) * 60;

    if (hrs > 11) {
        hrs = (hrs - 12) + ":" + min + " PM";
    } else {
        hrs += ":" + min + " AM";
    }
    return hrs;
}
alert(timeD2C(timeofday+""));

And it is good to do the string conversion inside your function definition,

function timeD2C(time) { 
  time = time + "";
  var pos = time.indexOf('.');

So that the code flow won’t break at times when devs forget to pass a string into this function.
