User's PC is using the 12 hour clock (11:59 PM). User wants to enter time using the 24 hour clock (23:59). Browsers vary but Firefox (as an example) won't even allow you to type 23 for the hours, whereas some Win32 components from yesteryear let you type "23:__ --" but change it to "11:__ PM" as you move to the minutes field - still not ideal but better.
Do we still have to use some fancy 3rd party component to handles all the variations to give one unified UX across browsers? Are there plans to specify 24 hour formats in HTML5.1 (or whatever)?
I am aware this has been asked several times before but all answers that I've seen date from over a year ago and things have changed a lot since then.
