TL;DR - https://gist.github.com/jwoertink/5035116
I have a datetime picker in my app (http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/). When someone clicks in a text_field, the picker pops up and displays the calendar with the time, and timezone. I have the timezones for that select box populated like this var timezones = function() { zones = [ <% ActiveSupport::TimeZone.all.sort_by(&:name).each_with_index do |timezone, index| %> { value: '<%= timezone.formatted_offset(false) %>', label: "<%= timezone.name %>" }, <% end %> ] return zones; }; The issue I'm running into is that when someone selects "Pacific Time (US & Canada)" the value of that option is "-0800". If the date they selected is after March 10th (2013), then the "Pacific Time (US & Canada)" time zone is actually "-0700". So what happens is they save the record as 2013-03-15 08:00 pm -0800, then it gets stored in the DB as Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:00:00 PDT -07:00. Now, if they save the date as before March 10th (2013), then it saves the correct time. So, is there some method in rails where I can pass a date, and it will return the proper offset for any time zone with DST into consideration?
