- TillE 14y agoMost sites require manual entry of the timezone; I've seen very few that bother to detect it. Javascript seems to be a good option, though it doesn't exactly get you the timezone, just the current offset from UTC.
- drbawb 14y ago>just the current offset from UTC. Never gave it a second thought, but this actually explains a lot. DST, of course, shifts the offset by 1 hour, and I've often noticed that sites mis-detect my timezone by an hour with startling regularity.
