ASP time in GMT

[Abs]

Hello,

I've used this ASP funtion to display the time on my web page:

Date: <%= FormatDateTime(Date, 1)%>
Time: <%= FormatDateTime(now, 4)%>

THis was working fine until i moved my site to a server based in the states,
not the time is 5hrs behind. Can anyone help me resolve this??

Many thanks.

It would be usefull if you told us your timezone!

This topic was posted by me yesterday in his NG,

The server being in Toronto [Now],
the result in Central European Time [nowCET].

ASP runs on the server and will return server time. If you want local
time of the user to be displayed on the page you can use client side
javascript .

However, it is quite possible to add
trusted [ ;-) ] serverside time precision to that:

==========================
<script runat=server language=javascript>
var ds = new Date();
ds = ds*1;
</script>

<script type='text/javascript'>

var ds = <% =ds %>; // numerical UTC server
var dc = new Date();
dc = dc*1; // numerical UTC client
var dif = ds-dc; // millisecs UTC difference
dif2 = Math.floor(-dif/1000)

document.write("Local clock error: " + dif2 + " sec.<br><br>");

d = new Date()

document.write("Client time being: " + d + "<br><br>");

d = new Date(d*1+dif);

document.write("Exact local time being: " + d );

</script>
============================

Thanks guys, probably use javascript.
