ok im getting tired of looking for an answer and coming up short with
scripts that dont work. i have a application that uses GMT for all its
times and needs the clients timeoffset for showing the correct times
for everything. i use date.getTimezoneOffset() which works fine and
shows the daylight savings time correct value of -4 since im in eastern
standard time and its daylight savings time right now. well eastern
standard time is normally -5 and my dropdown populates with the -4
showing atlanta time. which will confuse the user and then they will
pick -5 eastern time which will make everything an hour off. i have a
disclaimer now, but i just want to know what the easiest way to display
the users time zone name useing the getTimezoneOffset() value. i
really want to be able to detect if the user has the adjust for
daylight savings checked for their machine.
