time zone script

Does anyone have a solution to display 3 different time zones on same page,
independent of user's computer time.
(i.e. NY, LA, Chicago times - and user in Europe would still see correct
time in those cities, even tho his machine is 6 hours ahead)

Thank you.

Dan:
They did ask for a solution independent of the user's computer time... This
would need to be done on the server, not with JavaScript executed in the
client's browser, as does the above example.

It's a bit rough but here's a ASP/VBScript solution that will do it. The downside is that the visitor will have to refresh the page to update the times. You'll need to set the offset as commented in the code for the server the page is hosted on.

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<caption>GMT/UTC Time Zones</caption>
<tr>
<th>GMT Offset</th>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
<%
For i = -12 to 12
sOffset = +5 'The time offset from GMT at the server
cTime = i + sOffset
tDiff = (DateAdd("h",cTime,Now))
Response.Write "<tr>" & vbCrLf
If i = 0 Then
Response.write "<td><b>GMT/UTC" & "</b></td>" & vbCrLf
Else
Response.write "<td>GMT " & i & "</td>" & vbCrLf
End If
Response.write "<td>" & FormatDateTime(tDiff,4) & "</td>" & vbCrLf &_
"<td>" & FormatDateTime(tDiff,1) & "</td>" & vbCrLf &_
"</tr>" &vbCrLf
Next
%>
</table>



Question... why must it be server side?
