Format time stamp to Local time zone

[unitedlocalbands]

Can javascript be used to turn this time stamp {ts '2007-09-17 21:54:59'}

into the correct time for the "clients" time zone?


Thanks for your help!

JavaScript does support the creation of a date object using a full date/time string as its parameter. You can then convert that into the local format in which date/time is displayed for that user. So something like:


<script type="text/javascript">

var mydate=new Date("September 17, 2007 21:54:59")
alert(mydate.toLocaleString())

</script>

That's different than adjusting the timestamp time (server time I assume) to the local time of the user though.

Can javascript check to see what time zone or what the "time zone offset" is from "GMT" from the users browser?

If so, then I could store that as a cookie and then call on it later to adjust the time and date as needed.

Thanks again!
