Display Clients Timezone Name When In Daylight Savings Time
Jul 23, 2005
ok im getting tired of looking for an answer and coming up short with
scripts that dont work. i have a application that uses GMT for all its
times and needs the clients timeoffset for showing the correct times
for everything. i use date.getTimezoneOffset() which works fine and
shows the daylight savings time correct value of -4 since im in eastern
standard time and its daylight savings time right now. well eastern
standard time is normally -5 and my dropdown populates with the -4
showing atlanta time. which will confuse the user and then they will
pick -5 eastern time which will make everything an hour off. i have a
disclaimer now, but i just want to know what the easiest way to display
the users time zone name useing the getTimezoneOffset() value. i
really want to be able to detect if the user has the adjust for
daylight savings checked for their machine.
I have some date calculations that add a time span to a date. The problem is, when I add a time span that is a whole number of days to a date, the result can be +/- 1 hour due to daylight savings. Is there anyway to disable this?
Well I am facing this strange issue with javascript. Specifically on the 26th October 2003, when I select any roomtype I get the rate 0 if "In the Operating system, Time Zone is selected with "Automatically adjust clocks with daylight saving changes". why does this happen, please have a look at this page: Code:
I am building a website for users that exist around the world and need to show the user's "local machine" time and timezone, not the time of the website host server. Is there a javascript function or process to determine this?
I am working on date time picker modification. I am copying the time from one source pasting in text box and then once I click on another box. It populates the time on the basis of time zone difference. Now whenever I am doing vice versa. It is going in loop.
I was wondering if I could set the script below to apply to eastern standard time and not the users computer time. So it wont confuse users over seas, Im using it to display scheduled announcements as the header.
<script type="text/javascript"> var d = new Date(); theDay=d.getDay();
First off let me say I did do a search of google and these forums before posting this. I have sort of what I want without having exactly what I want and before I proceed further hacking up already working code I figured I'd start a conversation as to whether my goal is at all possible.Currently using (thank you w3schools as I am by no means a javascript expert):document.writeln(new Date()) I get the following: Wed Jul 13 2011 09:24:09 GMT-0600 (Mountain Daylight Time)which would be great for most people, but I'm kind of picky so I want the clock to keep ticking and to show the current time.To do this I use this code(again thank you w3schools):
I think it's okay to ask this question in this group, but if not please point me to the correct one!
How does one go about doing asynchronous updates between two web clients? Take Google Chat for example... how does Google Chat update a chatter's chat window with text entered by the other chatter?
I am looking for an example/code to get MAC Address with JavaScript or any other technology for a php based web application. The collected MAC Address will be stored in a MySQL table, 'login' to generate reports. I have found some php scripts helping me do this but it does not get the client computers MAC Address. And these examples work only on localhost. While running it on the server the MAC Address is different than the local one.Can we find out the MAC Address for a clients computer anyways to use in the application and which will be cross browser compatible?

I'm (still) working on an ISO 8601 date parser. I want to convert at least the formats described here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Well.. I've got most of it working (via RegEx's) good enough for me but I'm having a brain block when it comes to TimeZone.
The datetime may come with an optional timezone offset (from GMT) as here (the offset is +1 hour from GMT):
1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00
So... that's the current time there... but my spec is that timezone information, if present, should be used to convert the given time to local time. For me, for example, this would be -5:00 from GMT.
I've already split the Timezone information: I've got indiviual access to the sign (plus or minus), the hour offset and the minute offset.
So I'm sure there's a nice, simple formula for this... but it eludes me. Or I'm lazy... I can't decide which.
I am wondering what is the way around when the javascript is disabled?
For example, I am creating menu with bunch of drop down lists. The lists are dependant on the others. So, when I change the selection on the previous list, the elements on the next list should change. Of course this won't happen when the javascript is turned off.
I intend to start learning JS over the Xmas holidays, but right now I only have a very basic knowledge of it.I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to do this, as I think i should be pretty easy.After someone changes something in the admin area [e.g. the position of an item] I want to be able to have a small div display at the top of the screen saying something like "Position Updated!" and then have it fade away after 2-3 seconds.
When the site loads up, invite the user to enter their name and then display a message at the top of the document which will say< good morning, evening, or afternoon >, based on the time they access your site, welcome to <insert the name of your site>
How can I draw a cookie where number of chocolate chips represents the number of seconds and the number of bites represents the number of minutes.
I want to show the passage of time on a clock that looks like items are being added to the display according to the number of seconds and minutes. Maybe using a mouse input aswell
