I needed to do just that on a project a while back so I dug up
this file for you. I haven't looked at it since I did it, so
if you have problems or questions let me know and I'll take a
closer look.

Hello all,
We have clients in many different time zones, and we would like
to find an
easy way to get the local time from the browser rather than querying
a
time_zone table every time or setting a session variable. Almost
like a
reverse cfheader where we get info from the browser instead of
sending it.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Ryan
