Re: Detect Tme Zone

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

These statements display the current (local) time with UTC offset

var d = new Date()
document.write (d)

For me, it displayed
Thu Oct 13 14:36:20 UTC+1000 2005
(Australia is 10 hours ahead of UTC)

You could extract the offset itself by searching the string for "UTC" and
taking the next 5 characters.

I display local time on my website by using the toLocale functions

function getTheDate()
{// returns local date
var now = new Date()
return now.toLocaleDateString()
}
//------------------------------

function getTheTime()
{// returns local time
var now = new Date()
return now.toLocaleTimeString()
}
//------------------------------
But
