YUCK! Are you saying that if a user is entering a date that I have to relate what time zone my server is in, vs. GMT, and ensure that it always corresponds? This does sound nasty.
Just to be certain I understand... If I submit a date, and 'today' isn't the same day as it is in 'GMT', then my submission will be adjusted accordingly, UNLESS I send GMT along with it? Why do I feel like I just confused myself? And why do I editorialize? -Bill on 5/15/06 14:32, Art Isbell at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On May 15, 2006, at 11:25 AM, WebObjects wrote: > >> I output the date it's sending to the EC to save, and get "1919-02-24 >> 08:00:00 Etc/GMT" - showing 'GMT' as the timezone.
