| Is there a way to get the current time of the computer requesting a web page? Either through the HTTP Header or maybe in the enviroment variables... I'd like to deal with the whole time zone issue transparently on my site. Currently I ask the user what time zone they are in, but even if done correctly, daylight saving plays a big hassle. Any ideas? I have thought of submitting the client's time when they login by setting their current time to a hidden field of the form, but then I am depending on that login in order to get this information. I'd like to grab it from all users when they first request the page, whether they are a guest or a regular user. So that I can generate dynamic content and display the correct time for them. |

| when a new person views the site, have javascript automatically forward them to another page, with a timestamp in the URI. figure out their timezone offset from that, and set it as a cookie. thereafter, if they have the cookie, don't output the auto-redirect thing in javascript. although that'd suck if they reject the cookie...  just, if they're not logged in, they get server time; if they are, use the above method (or some variant thereof) so they can have local time. |

| yeah, I know you can definitely grab it with Java.... but why would you want -their- time ? shouldn't the time be standardized ?? as in used off the server ?? and if they are in a differnet timezone, then THEY can input the offset... |

| Well you could just make it an option; specify a time zone or automatically detect it. And yes, it's possible to get the time with Javascript. I think you use the Date object. |
