If you are not using 24 hour time, but AM and PM, and if you have an event
that starts in the morning and ends in the afternoon, the code will kick
back a warning that the start date can't be later than the end date.  Most
people that create events that have an end date that is numerically lower
than the start date are scheduling all day meetings.  It would be helpful to
have the javascript code take this into consideration and make the
assumption that if you are trying to schedule an 8AM - 4PM meeting, that it
will make the switch to PM if you pick 4 as your end hour.

People usually think from left to right, top to bottom, so they will attempt
to change the hour first, get the message, then they have to change AM/PM
and then they can put in the proper hour.  This enhancement would allow them
to create an event without an interruption.  They shouldn't have to think
about doing AM/PM first.

Alternative would be to put the AM/PM to the left of the hour menu, but
thats not appealing at all.
