• javascript

• It's supposed to use the system time zone. What other time zone would it use? – Barmar Commented May 22, 2015 at 6:53
• 2 What does jQuery have to do with this? This is just plain Javascript, there are no date functions in jQuery. – Barmar Commented May 22, 2015 at 6:54
• 1 Javascript runs on the client machine, it doesn't know anything about the server. If you want the server time, get the date in a PHP script on the server. – Barmar Commented May 22, 2015 at 6:55

jQuery has only one date/time function, which is $.now()

If you meant JavaScript, the answer is still no. You can only obtain a time zone offset from date.getTimezoneOffset(). You can't get a time zone - at least not in all browsers.

You can guess at the time zone, by using the jsTimeZoneDetect library, but it is just a guess. It may or may not be accurate.

If you can guarantee your users are running a browser that supports the brand new ECMAScript Internationalization API, you can get the user's time zone with:

Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone

Return the timezone difference between UTC and Local Time:

var d = new Date()
var n = d.getTimezoneOffset();

The result n will be: -300

The getTimezoneOffset() method returns the time difference between UTC time and local time, in minutes.

For example, If your time zone is GMT+2, -120 will be returned.

Note: The returned value is not a constant, because of the practice of using Daylight Saving Time.

Tip: The Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) is the time set by the World Time Standard.

Note: UTC time is the same as GMT time.
