jQuery hack for 12 hour datetime selects in rails

12hourTimeSelectRailsHelper.jquery.js

function convertDateTimeSelectTo12Hour() {
  var translate = {"00":"Midnight","01":"1am","02":"2am","03":"3am","04":"4am","05":"5am","06":"6am","07":"7am","08":"8am","09":"9am","10":"10am","11":"11am","12":"Noon","13":"1pm","14":"2pm","15":"3pm","16":"4pm","17":"5pm","18":"6pm","19":"7pm","20":"8pm","21":"9pm","22":"10pm","23":"11pm"};
  $("select[name$='(4i)]'] option").each(function() {
    $(this).text(translate[$(this).text()]);
  });
}

weird parseInt() behavior:

parseInt("06")
6
parseInt("07")
7
parseInt("08")
0
parseInt("09")
0
parseInt("10")
10

It's parsing that in octal so 08 and 09 are not valid octal.
