t+=''+nb[h]+':'+nb[m]+''

The js save routine will fail whenever the value is not a number (isNaN). The value has a colon in it, hence it's never a number. You don't need to check isNaN, because it's a drop down, so you control what is entered there, unlike a text box where you might use isNaN to be sure the user typed in a number.
