在选定值之间选中了Javascript set复选框

Question

Following the code

<select id="choice_option">
    <option value="00">Hourly</option>
    <option value="15">15 minutes</option>
    <option value="30">30 minutes</option>
    <option value="45">45 minutes</option>
</select>

<select id="from_time">
    <option value="6:00">6:00</option>
    <option value="7:00">7:00</option>
    <option value="8:00">8:00</option>
    ...
</select>

<select id="to_time">
    <option value="6:00">6:00</option>
    <option value="7:00">7:00</option>
    <option value="8:00">8:00</option>
    ...
</select>

<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />6:00
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />6:15
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />6:30
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />6:45
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />7:00
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />7:15
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />7:30
<input type="checkbox" value="6:00" class="times" />7:45
...
var choice = document.getElementById('choice_option');

Event.add('choice_option', 'change', function() {
    checkTimes(choice);
});

var checkTimes = function(elem) {
    var from = document.getElementById('from_time'),
        to = document.getElementById('to_time'),
        times = document.querySelectorAll('.times'),
        len = times.length,
        i, t, startTime, stopTime;

    for(i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        t = times[i].value.slice(-2);
        startTime = from.options[from.selectedIndex].value;
        stopTime = to.options[to.selectedIndex].value;

        if(times[i].checked) {
            times[i].checked = false;
        }

        if(elem.options[elem.selectedIndex].value == t) {
            times[i].checked = true;
        }
    }
}

What I want to achieve is set the check boxes as checked between users's selected hours " from_time " and " to_time ".

I made it till the point where check boxes get checked based on : 00, :15, :30 or 45 minutes. But I'm stuck when the checked boxes should be between selected times.

So if user chooses 15 minutes and from 06:00 to 14:00 I want every checkbox which has the value 6:15, 7:15 , 8:15 ... 14:15 to be checked.

I tried to compare the " from_time " and " to_time " but no luck so far.

Thank you

Why not take a simpler approach...

<select id="fromHour">
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
</select>

<select id="fromMinutes">
  <option value="00">00</option>
  <option value="15">15</option>
  <option value="30">30</option>
  <option value="45">45</option>
</select>

<span>to</span>

<select id="toHour">
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
</select>

<select id="toMinutes">
  <option value="00">00</option>
  <option value="15">15</option>
  <option value="30">30</option>
  <option value="45">45</option>
</select>

I found it. What I should've done was this

instead of

if(elem.options[elem.selectedIndex].value == t) {
   times[i].checked = true;
}

i changed to

if(startTime <= times[i].value && stopTime >= times[i].value 
&& elem.options[elem.selectedIndex].value == t) {
    times[i].checked = true;
}
