Hi,
all web browsers have currently the time zone in their Date object, so
it is very easy to handle this (as AjaxPro is doing). If you want to
deal with a different time zone on the local PC it should be very easy
to do this.
But you think returning the time in the local time zone is the correct
way, too? I think sometimes it depends on the web application, but I
think nearly 90% will need the correct local time.
Regards,
Michael
