Time javascript and DST

[Rattlebones]

Just wondering if anyone knew of a good javascript which accounts for Daylight Saving Time?

Haven't been able to track one donw.

Thanks.

What do you want the script to do? Also, have you check out this place:

My ultimate goal is to post GMT, Easter, Central, Mountain and Pacific live clocks.

However, GMT/UTC doesn't use Daylight Saving Time so I need a script that can calculate whether we are in DST or not correctly so each of the 5 clocks will be correct.

The world time zone one on the URL above is nice but I want it to all be automatic. There you need to interact, I just want the clocks there automatically.

If you look at http://www.potterwatch.com/CCG/times.html you'll see what I'm trying to do. I've got the clocks displayed right but I need to change the code when DST ends.

Thanks : Rattlebones

Just so you know:

Americans write the date month/day/year, where year is usually 2 digits. The month and day can be zero-padded but usually aren't. So April 14, 2004 would be 4/14/04.

I think that browsers might allow for American DST automatically. I don't know if this is true internationally, though. I also don't know if it depends on the user's regional settings.

If you want to know whether DST is in effect on a given date, try doing arithmetic on the date or something.

In Netscape, your form doesn't look right: most of the text is not visible.

Err. Oops. Thanks. I had checked it in IE and Opera but not Mozilla (firefox) and Netscape. I fixed that little problem.

I am aware of the date differences. And I'm not too concerned about USers need to translate a date a little bit.

I've done some messing about and I can do the raw coding but haven't found something to automagically account for DST. I use

var TZL = nowL.getTimezoneOffset();

to get the timezone on this PC and use that to figure out UTC then use UTC/GMT to figure out ET/CT/MT/PT.

I'd like to automate the DST considerations which right now I'll have to do manually w/ the coding I have. I think :)

You know what, I believe that my code will account for DST. I changed my PC to be Arizona time which doesn't use DST and the GMT was correct... or as correct as it gets on this PC :)...

Thanks for the help and the heads up on the Netscape FUBAR.
