Hi!
After a year on the to do list I finally finished the portion for my
script that generates a date and time display - of the client time.
It requires that the client accepts a cookie, executes ECMAScript (fka
JavaScript), and that the client computer time zone is set correctly.
The client doesn't need to have the correct time, but the server should.
It should compensate correctly for DST and will also work with the
'half' time zones such as the one for New Foundland.
I don't know how you all feel about unsolicited code postings, so I
won't do this right now and ask instead if anyone is interested in this.
I find it to be quite clever, although the core piece being the client
side script is from a good soul from the ECLUG list. Unfortunately, I do
not have the original post anymore, so I cannot nail it down to a
person. I asked about it over a year ago, if not longer. A few system
crashes and mail clients later....I guess you know these stories.
