Hello Friends,

Outputting the Date and Time in a Selected Time Zone

Some you required to show datatiem depending on the zones and some time you need to to show more than one zone's time

Doing this requires the use of two methods of the Date object:
• getTimezoneOffset: This method returns the number of minutes’
difference between the current browser’s time zone and GMT time.
• setHours: This method is used to determine the hours part of the
time in the current Date object. Using this you could reset the time
to the time in your time zone.

The following code slove the above issue:.


<script type="text/javascript">
var myOffset = -2;
var currentDate = new Date();
var userOffset = currentDate.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
var timeZoneDifference = userOffset - myOffset;
currentDate.setHours(currentDate.getHours() + timeZoneDifference);
document.write(“The time and date in Central Europe is: “ + currentDate.toLocaleString());

</script>

Thanks & Regards,
Datta.G
