Time Offset

Hi all,

I am having a weird issue.

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

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???

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>

However, your statement was

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.
