Oh... also... to answer the original post. You'll want to do something like this: 1) Figure out what Timezone the current user's computer is set to. myDate.getTimezoneOffset(); 2) The timezoneOffset is... "The minutes you need to add to the computer's local time value to equal UTC. If your computer's time is set later than UTC, the return value will be negative." 3) Calculate the offset (in minutes) between the clients timezone and your target timezone. 4) Calculate your clock's values from there.
