view server time

[john]

Is it possible to display the current time directly from the server,
and not client-side...I have people in different time zones trying to
view the same page and the times (based on client) are coming up
different.

Thanks.

1 by serverside code (ASP: Time is <%=now%> )

2 by "GET"-ing the header:

<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://www.qwerty.com/", false);
xmlhttp.send();
alert(xmlhttp.getAllResponseHeaders().replace(/^(.*)[\s\S]*/,"$1"));
</script>
