<%=Time()%> Eastern Time?

This command seem to insert Easetern time and I am on the West Coast. What do I need to do to compensate for the 3 hours?


Thank you

That code doesn't give you the time on your machine, it gives you the time on the web server.

Do you need to display western time all the time, or do you need display the current time no matter what the visitor's location?

Your server must be on the East Coast. To get your time you need to do
something like like

<%
ServTime = Time()
WCTime = dateAdd("h",3,ServTime)
%>

<%=WCTime%>

Paul,

Wouldn't that place the time 3 hours ahead of what it is already, rather than 3 hours behind?

Yes.

Should also Dim the variables

<%
Dim ServTime, WCTime
ServTime = Time()
WCTime = dateAdd("h",-3,ServTime)
%>

<%=WCTime%>

Kindler,

How would one go about getting the client's time from wthin ASP?

I was going to suggest a client side javaScript.

You'd have to:
1. get the time on the client side w/ JavaScript.
2. send that time back to the server (could use a URL param or similar)
3. convert as needed on the server.
4. send back to the client side.

I'm sure other folks will have much more clever methods as well

I think that this would work. It would give the long date. You could tailor
it down to the format that you want.

var today = new Date();
dayStr = today.toLocaleString();
document.write(dayStr);

But, this returns the time that the visitor actually "opens" the page, using
the visitor's time zone, not the time that the page was "modified". However,
it could be placed in a larger JS that uses this piece to determine the time
of modification, in the visitor's TZ.

How about this JavaScript/ASP solution?

Oops, are are so right. Never had to do a backwards conversion as any server
in world outside of New Zealand always has a time less than us. Where most
of my sites are located I have to add 17 hours.
