Cannot be done with HTML alone. Client side script for validation is a
good idea, but you really need to do validation on the server to account
for those who do not have javascript enabled.
Now, one thing you _could_ do is present the input in two select boxes,
eg:
<select name="hour">
<option value="0">12am</option>
<option value="1">1am</option>
....
<option value="23">11pm</option>
</select>
<select name="minute">
<option value="0">00</option>
....
<option value="59">59</option>
</select>
Then you can put the two values together server side to make your time.
