My 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 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?

But not much seems to be what I'm looking for.Example like the facebook wall's post that posted datetime. It will display like 12 mins but as u stay on the page more than a min it will display 13 mins. Then for older post it will dispaly in more details like month, day, year, time, etc.

Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.
note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.
What is the correct method for passing named values from a client back to the next client screen without sticking the info as an url query string?

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?
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 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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();
[code]....
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 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.
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();
[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.
I have a countdown clock in bidding. When someone bid within 30 secs clock will reset from 30 sec. In my case clock is reset but timezone difference added. So if bid within 30 sec clock counting down 4 hrs , 30 mins , 30 secs.
My code is below----
"cd".$clock_no is the countdown div
var periods = $("#cd". $clock_no."").countdown('getTimes');
if ($.countdown.periodsToSeconds(periods) < 30) {
periods[6]+=30;
$("#cd1").countdown('change', {until: periods[0] + 'y ' + periods[1] + 'o ' + periods[2] + 'w ' + periods[3] + 'd ' + periods[4] + 'h ' + periods[5] + 'm ' + periods[6] + 's'});
}
Is there a way to get the visitors *local* IP-address in javascript? I mean his LAN address like 192.168.1.x, not his regular IP-address.
I found several approaches that attempt to do this, but they either give me the external (regular) IP address, or they give 127.0.0.1 which doesn't really tell me anything. I need the local network address.
Just an alert saying "your machine's local network IP is 10.0.0.139" .

as a Local Area Network (LAN). A wireless network does not require
hubs, switchers, or routers to include additional users on the
network. Additional wireless users are supported just by being in the

A wireless LAN (or Wi-Fi network) may be configured in two different
ways:
Ad Hoc mode: Allows only for communication between different personal
computers and wireless devices, often referred to as peer-to-peer
communication.
Infrastructure mode: Required for communication with the World Wide

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developing a web application where each page shows a series of small jpg images each with an onClick event which plays a small mp3 file using javascript.
It all works perfectly but is a bit slow to load, so the customer wondered if we might develop a local version which, although the page was accessed via the web, the images and mp3s were installed on a users local pc (will be machine specific application anyway).
I have managed to do this for the images by using:
<img src="file:///C|/folder/home.jpg" onClick="EvalSound('shortname')">
and adding the site as a trusted site in IE7 (after much head scratching!).
However, my embed statement to embed the local mp3 files doesn't seem to work. I am using:
<embed src="file:///C|/folder/filename.mp3" autostart=false width=0 height=0 name="shortname" enablejavascript="true">
I have tried all sorts of versions of this path and nothing seems to work. I just get an 'unspecified error' when I click the image.
My current set up is a form that gets someone to enter "City, State" then when they hit the submit button i used PHP to set up a variable called $location which was set to google.com/maps?q=from%3A+city,+state+to%3A+city,+state the $to variable is sent from a hidden input and is equal to the club they want to go to. After that i do a few string changes to get rid of the spaces. after its' all done it becomes $location.
What i currently have is a simple window.open() using javascript to open up the window. This works fine with one major problem.. popup blockers stop it from opening and the people browsing this site aren't exactly tech savy. They usually have no idea how to allow popups and this becomes a problem. The only reason i have it set up the way i do now is because my javascript is very limited.. but my php is pretty good. Is there a better way to open up the new window without popup blockers stopping it? If not do you know a way I could set up javascript to change a hidden input on the fly as the person enters their info so i can just use method="GET" and have the action to google.com/maps.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've spent 30 minutes or so googling to find the answer to this question, and I haven't found it. I'd like to use JavaScript to get the contents of a URL on the same domain (locally). For that matter it will be within the same directory on the domain.I was hoping there'd be a simple "getURL" function that would assign the contents of a URL request to a variable. One that isn't terribly platform specific, either. Is there such a thing?I'm creating a script that will perform 3 different searches at my website, and place the results in 3 columns for easy comparison. It's somewhat of a metasearch, extracting similar items from 3 different websites. The local CGI script on my website (the one I'm hoping to call using Javascript) makes the query to the external websites. The problem is that it can take sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to finish all of this, where one site in particular can be fairly slow.
So rather than make the visitor wait 5 to 10 seconds to see anything at all, I thought a good solution would be to have the CGI script display a page quickly, showing that site #1 is being searched (and displaying results once it's finished), then site #2, then site #3. Ideally the results from site #1 would have JS that would trigger the search for site #2, and so on.I've done this before using frames, but I was hoping to avoid having to use frames.I'm not a JS expert, but I know how to use createTextNode to insert the contents of variable within the document.The only thing I need to know how to do is assign the contents of a URL request to a variable.
