Looks like is working, can change ':' with dot '.'. For me is useful to integrate with java locales
At line 766 don't know syntax to include separator dynamically in RegEx however there are only two separators in all java locales: ':' and '.'. Next step could be similar work for AM/PM symbol (eg: Arabic م Greek μμ) and (harder perhaps) AM/PM before or after time, in Chinese for example is before 下午9:21

with some changes for variable length... eg: Czech [dop., odp.]

"When the time is greater than 11 you will notice that the meridian is ALWAYS AM when it should be PM." - Also if is true that if when use meridian there should be not an input hour > 12 is handy that is automatically understood and converted, in my opinion better than setting to 12 whatever hour > 12 is configured

When setting hour to zero or 24 the time was incorrect.  was setting hour to 23 when >=24 but should be zero. Now printing 25 controls with time from 0 to 24 gives correct results for all, in 24h mode, in 12h is still wrong: for 0 prints 01 AM (like for 1 and 24)

Should be ok, 12 AM for both 0 and 24, with a little help from wiki.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock

added configuration from data attributes with priority on code (code can change or remove them, so may re-obtain control), also a fix for 12 AM / PM (not zero) and a note for orientation (cannot reproduce yet)

Missed the regexp, now updated to match designator and not 'p', thought also that removing both ':' and '.' is ok.

this should fix jdewit#219 jdewit#209 jdewit#208 jdewit#203, jdewit#209 has tests not yet included here

When the widget is localized is handy to read the ISO 8601 value [hh:mm:ss] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Times

Noticed that calling getTime did not return the time but jquery object, plugin has still some magic for me but found this http://stackoverflow.com/a/17792070/1536382 and chose to return first item only

didn't realize it was already there.. left some since have to update examples because names are different..they act for now as sort of preferred option, eg: data-am wins on 'standard-name' data-am-designator

to know if am, only when showMeridian==true

**MeridianSeparator** is to support '.' for Albanian locale (sq, sq_AL).

**SubmitMode** determines the value actually submitted with the form and has 3 values: 
    
    'default' (as before, untouched, same as display value)
    'iso' (ISO8601, always with seconds)
    'iso-auto' (ISO8601, with seconds only if displayed)

suffix is used only for Thai locale with value " น.", if is not present java DateFormat wont' parse the time (if has no seconds)

merged also orientation
