JavaScript is able to get the current time on the users system.  You
could then pass this into a server side method either by way of AJAX, or
a hidden form field which you submit back to the server.  You can then
just compare that against the server time to figure the offset...

Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] Display times in client's time zone?

If I have a calendar/scheduler type application & I want to show users
in different time zones the time of a particular event in *their* time
zone, what's the easiest way to get that done?  Looks like client time
zone doesn't come over in the useragent string (right?).  Do I have to
ask users what time zone they're in?

Thanks!
