Question

is there an easy way to get the unix timestamp in javascript from a specific timezone? for example i want the client send me an unix timestamp but i want to get it to match my timezone.

thanks!

Answer 1

Why not simply send the date in UTC, and then convert to your timezone on the server?

var utcEpochSeconds = dateObj.getTime() + (dateObj.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);
