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 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.
