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?
View 2 RepliesMy php script has an input date (example: 2011-09-30) but if I use the server date then it may not match to client's machine.
But how do I get the client's local timezone then pass it to php and convert ?
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.

<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date();
theDay=d.getDay();

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.
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):
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();

There are probably a million threads about time conversion, but I cannot find the answer to my problem. So I'm making it a million and one...
I have my date/time stamps stored in UTC (ie number of second since the Unix Epoch). How do I convert this to a definable local time in JavaScript? With definable I mean any local time, not necessarily the machine local time.
In PHP I would do it as follows:
Code:
$utc = time(); // current UTC
$timezone = "America/New_York";
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $utc);
The above would give the current date/time in New York. I would like to be able to do this in JavaScript for any time given in UTC.
This is my first time doing JavaScript I don't what I did wrong here, but the problem its not showing up the current date and time.

I have tried using different browser chrome,IE9,Maxtor, and Opera my OS is Win7
Is there a best practice to get a lastmodified in local time vs. GMT?code...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know I'm missing something about GMT stuff, the problem is that I don't know what exactly If I follow this steps I wont get the real time (for my country) but 2 h 5 m later. Where is the mistake? You can try the code under this lines:
Code:
var Cdate = new Date();
var Smiltotal = Date.UTC(Cdate.getFullYear(), Cdate.getMonth(), Cdate.getDate(), Cdate.getHours(), Cdate.getMinutes(), Cdate.getMilliseconds());
var Pdate = new Date(Smiltotal);
var Smonth = Pdate.getMonth()+1;

I'm looking to do two things on a website - add the time (but the local time where my client is based - not taken from their computer clock) and I want to add the local weather - I know there are services out there, and this is what I have at the moment - but my client wants it text only (so without all the banner info on these services.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe facilitate webinars/conferences and post the date/time of the events on our website.Presently, we list the times in various United States time zones to make it easier for viewers to determine what time the event will take place within their time zone.However, posting the date/time in all the time zones makes the event calendar look too busy,cluttered, and somewhat confusing.Is anyone aware of an html code/script that would allow me to post the times in my time zone (Mountain Standard Time) to where the time is automatically converted to the viewers local time on their computer?

I have a combobox on this testsite: sneleopard.dk/combobox.html it should show all records containing the search string while typing. But sometimes it only shows some of them, why?
1) type "spi" and it shows among others "spinat helbladet"
2) delete the search string and type "bla"
3) it should now among others show "spinat helbladet" again, but it
doesnt, why?
maybe its because that the function shows first records starting with
the search string, and thereafter those containing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, when my first div loads, I'm seeing all 3 text show up even though they're in different <div> containers:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Tabs').tabs({ fx: { opacity: 'toggle'} });
});
[Code].....
Here's a print screen: [URL] so you can see that for some reason all of that text is showing up at the same time. Do I need to hide the other divs first? I even tried that with adding $('#Tabs div0').hide(); // Hide all divs but it did not help. I would assume out of the box, it would hide the rest of the divs for me and only show the default first.
I am developing a menu using javascript wherein, I expand and collapse divs. It works fine individually; but the problem arises when I try to hide all other divs on expanding one div. Following is the code. any change if you spot any error or even

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.
Any pointers?
Say I put a date and time for like this: Jun-15-04 21:52:06. Here is the form I am using:
<form>
<p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"><br>
date</p>
<p><input type="text" name="T2" size="20"><br>
90 days from date</p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
How could I get to show the date 90 days later to the exact date and time. I would enter the data in the first box and hit submit to show in the second box.
I have date(ex., Thu, 04 Dec 2003 10:35:19 +0500) and I know the
timezone(ex., America/Anchorage). Now I need to convert the date into
the given timezone. Is it possible to achieve this thru js api's?
Take a variable...
var time = "12:00"
split it...
var hour=time.split(":");
...then add or subtract from the numeric value of hour[0] based on timezone.
EST = -5
PST = -8
What would be the best way of doing this?
I have my code php like that:
<?php
//Get the data from system and return in EU format
function ShowDate() {
$Date = date("d"."/"."m"."/"."Y");
return $Date;
}
//Get the time from system
function ShowTime() {
$Time = date("H".":"."i");
return $Time;
}
?>
Now I have two input box
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Type the date:<input name="txtdate" type="text" class="input" id="txtdate" title="e.g dd/mm/yyyy" value="<?php echo ShowDate(); ?>" size="9" maxlength="10">
<br>
Type the time:<input name="txttime" type="text" id="txttime" value="<?php echo ShowTime(); ?>" size="5" maxlength="5">
<br>
London: Friday May 21 2010 05:12:00 <br>
New York: Friday May 21 2010 00:12:00<br>
Hong Kong: Friday May 21 2010 12:12:00<br>
Tokyo: Friday May 21 2010 13:12:00<br>
</body>
</html>
So.... the important is the user can interactive with the date. If I change the date or time all this values will be change as well. Someone knows how can I do this? The field txtdate I will get from a calendar plugin (javascript) that I already put in my code.
Our application servers are hosted in US Central. So when cookie created by the application it contains US Central Time with DST.
When we use it in India time comparison logic fails as milliseconds are different. In US central logic of comparison current datetime milliseconds with cookie date time milliseconds work gr8. Any way so that It work in India too.
