International Time Script

[bmdavis]

I have noticed a few scripts on the page that display clocks on the web page. Any way you can change the script to display the time in, for example, London?

Thanks.

Yes, I could modify a script for you. It would take the user's system time and modify it by +x or -x hours.
Pick any clock script, with a llink to it here if this is what you mean.

Just tell me where to edit.


Also, will it make a different if people are accessing it on different coasts of the U.S.? (can you just add a simple +8 for London?)

var hours=mydate.getHours()+1

Would add one hour to this script.

It's actually a little more complicated than that, unfortunately. Since you have no idea what time zone the user is in, you'll need to use either the Date.getTimezoneOffset() function (http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/date.shtml) or some other fixed time function to eventually determine the current time that doesn't change regardless of what the user's timezone is. Unfortunately due to time constraints I can't make the modications for you, though try searching on Google for such an example...

Well yes, ideally it would get the time from a world time server, but they all seem to have no support for projects like this.

I forgot to mention that it relies entirely on the system clock :(

Yep, if your page is PHP for example, you can use PHP to write out a variable in JavaScript containing the system clock, then simply increment that by x hours depending on the World time you want to display.
