How do you show the client computers local time on a page even if the page

How do you show the client computers local time on a page even if the page
is hosted in a totally different timezone?

using client (java)script

<script type="text/javascript">
var t= new Date();
alert(t);
</script>

Andy,

Just place a javascript on the page in the location you want to show the
time. Javascript runs on the local machine and therefore will display the
local time.

Here's a quick .net sample:

Is there a way of doing this so mobile devices can show it?

Is there a way of doing this so mobile devices can show it?

<div>
   <script type="text/javascript">
       document.write(Date());
   </script>
</div>

Google for JavaScript date / time formatting options...

There are mobiles which do not support JavaScript. You would need to
prompt user to choose the time zone. Take a look at the following
thread for more details: http://forums.asp.net/p/1090269/1646091.aspx

Hope this helps
