Hi all,
ls there anyway I can set the date to the timezone of the clients
timezone? For example, if a person opens the web page at 3/6 12:01
EST and another person opens the same page at 3/5 10:01 MST I would
like the date to be the above days on the client computers. I know
everyone knows this but the way I described this the two people
accessed the webpage at the same time but I want the
correct date for
the client computer to be outputted.
There are some tools that you can detect where the person is
located and and you would be able to use the timezone from
that information. One site I found from a quick google search:
http://www.ip2location.com/
The cheapest and simpliest method would be to use some
javascript to detect the timezone. Or let the user specify
which one he wants to use.
Hi,
Javascripts' Date object has a getTimezoneOffset() method, which returns
the difference between local time and universal time in
minutes.

Hi there!
Yes, Javascript may have a such function, BUT think of the reliability...
It's not sure, that user has the Javascript-functionality turned on, what
happens then?

The IP to location is the best way.
I am not quite sure but is in the HTTP GET header or the headers
following then not the timezone included?
I am talking about the Headers the Browser sends.
