Hello,
Is there any function to convert a Date/Time from UTC to the user
client zone and back from user client zone to UTC?
I want to store Date/Time in UTC in the database but display it in
local use Date/Time.
Thanks,
Miguel |

Probably yes. Please define "UTC" and "user client zone".

Is that ignorance or merely perversity? UTC is a standard term, and
can be found in ISO/IEC 16262 with which you should be familiar (31
times, as a "word"; others as part of a method name). And "user
client zone" makes aense in English, thogh "zone" must be talen as
"region" and not "Time Zone" to be accurate.
OP : see in/via <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-dates.htm> and a
Date Object Methods reference as there cited.

It is a request.

It matters which UTC and "user client zone" format is used here.

You wrote nothing about "format". You should answer more slowly,
allowing yourself time to think more about the question and your
possible answers.
The OP may, but does not necessarily, want to convert between strings;
my first thought was of converting, for example, the result of
new Date(Y_UTC, ... , s_UTC)
to what would have been given by
new Date(Date.UTC(Y_UTC, ... , s_UTC))
and/or /vice versa/.

Hello,
I have seen this happening, a few times with me, both in CSS and
Javascript groups.
A discussion starts for nothing ... I will say what I usually say. Go
to the beach and relax ... :-)
Anyway, back to what is important. First of all let me say that I am
not Javascript expert. My problem is:
On my MVC application I have a few web pages with forms which has
inputs for date and time on the following format:
"2008-09-14 23:05:37"
On my database I save all dates and times in UTC (http://www.iso.org/
iso/date_and_time_format) format.
However I need to:
1. Convert the UTC Date/Time in a form input to the Time Zone of the
user.
This should be done after the form is loaded so the value is there.
2. Convert the Date/Time string inserted by the user from its TimeZone
to UTC and replace it in the input when the form is submitted.
This way on my server side code I will get the correct Date/Time to
insert in the database.
I know this can't be done on the server side. On the server side I am
not able to get the Local Time Zone. Only UTC.
Note: When I say conversion I mean that in UTC 2008-09-13 23:10:40
might be 2008-09-14 02:10:40 ...
Thanks,
Miguel |
