Arrival time in a form

I was reflecting on the best way to indicate the arrival time in a
form when you are reserving a room and want to communicate it.

At the moment, I have spotted two main designs:

1. A dropdown list with hour value from 00 to 24

2. Two dropdown lists: the first with 1 to 12 values and the second
with am\pm values

In the first case users would have a longer list, in the second two
interactions would be needed (one, if the default value of the second
dropdown is the most used...)

Do you have any best practice \ reccommendations about this?

thanks

People, I invite you to make up your own minds about the products you use

Hmm, Ok... I admit I should have added some thought on GTalk on it,
we're behind an Institute firewall and it wasnt connecting at times
so couldnt form an informed opinion on it . yet the mail was to
initiate a download of an alternate way of doing something which most
of us do daily, so all the people are on the same plan and can
Discuss. I am a silent reader of the list most of the time and "feed"
on what people have to say.

Audio feedback in HTML-based web applications

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts/ideas/research on audible feedback
in modern web applications. The reason I ask is that it seems to me these
days that audio tends to be largely ignored, especially with the recent push
for more DHTML/AJAX/Javascript-based applications (as opposed to
Flash-platform-based apps). Is this partially because the technology just
doesn't readily support it? (Though Flash does, and there are workarounds
for the issue, like this one:
