< =text/>zwZzso(1,"zwZTimeout('enableDesignMode()', 20);"); Is there a way I can display the time using ASP, and have it display a certain time zone for everyone who sees it?

DateAdd(interval, number, date)
response.write dateadd("h", -3, now())

You can detect the time difference between the browser time (JavaScript) and the server time.

For formatting the date see http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_formatdatetime.asp - http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_formatdatetime.asp .

For adding / subtracting amounts of time, see http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_dateadd.asp - http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_dateadd.asp .

Hope this helps,
Blair

< =text/>zwZzso(1,"zwZTimeout('enableDesignMode()', 20);"); Ok, Pacific Time is what I want shown for everyone.

But what if people from two different time zones view it...is it going to show Pacifice Time for both of them or there time subtract 3?

It'll show Pacific Time - in ASP, the current time - i.e. the Now() command - is taken from the server, so it won't change for different users.
