You would need serverside to be aware of the clients timezone. There isn’t enough information in the typical request to make that determination, the closest you can get is the Accept_Language header which might give you a clue but is hardly useful enough (esp. if the client is in a country that has multiple timezones).
Hence you would need to user to tell you what their timezone is and then use a logon or cookie to store that info.
