However, your statement was
Quote In ASP there is noway to get UNC or GMT time

which is patently untrue.

Any ASP page can use both JScript and VBScript. If you use VBScript as your main language you just have to use the synatax sbove outside your script delimiters and you should be able to call the JScript function from within your application.

I use VBScript and this is what I use when I need the time in GMT. If you check out www.warmageddon.com you'll see that it displays the time in GMT (at the bottom of the page). That site is written in VBScript except for this one function.

The time in GMT can also be called via MSSQL by using the getUTCdate() function but that doesn't work in Access.]]> Thu, 08 Dec 2005 23:00:20 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/time-offset_topic17468_post95013.html#95013 <![CDATA[Time Offset : Yes, but the forum uses VbScript...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/time-offset_topic17468_post94984.html#94984 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

You can use JScript to get the time in GMT. 


<script runat="server" language="jscript">

     function getGMTTime()

     {        

     var d, s;

     d = new Date();

     s = d.toUTCString(); 

     return(s); 

     }

</script>

Because the time is that of the web server, which remains in the sameplace ni matter where the user is who connects to the server.

In ASP there is noway to get UNC or GMT time, so the only place to getthe time from is the web server. The time on the web server remains thesame no matter where the user connects to the server from.

Hi all,

I am having a weird issue.

In the "Forum Preferences" (register.asp) there is a present serverdate and time and the user has the ability to offset this to his localtime.

My problem is:

No matter where in the world my users are... they all see that the server time is exactly the same as theirs...

How can this be???]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2005 16:11:04 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/time-offset_topic17468_post94915.html#94915
