I have run into a bit of a time zone problem. Basically, I am using ASP and Javascript to handle dates and guess what... you got it, the client could be in any time zone but the server will always be in the same one (UK actually).
I have figured the best method would be to use Javascript to determine the GMT offset (.getTimeZoneOffset), then pass that to my ASP script (I am already doing Javascript->ASP work, I am just appending this to the end of the querystring). ASP will have two dates then, the server date and the client date, and then the client GMT offset. Once I get this offset in ASP, how can I use that with the dates/times I am working with?
I know this is probably simple, but I'll ask anyway. I have a form which when submitted to the database the field in the database automatically adds date and time which is fine. My only problem is that my site is for the GMT UK time zone, but the database resides on a American server, IE the database records the local American time (-5 hours difference)
New to ASP,JScript,VBScript.I have a server in one time zone and a client in another. The ASP reads time from the server.I need capture the time on the client and use that in the server code.
Is there an asp component anywhere which will convert a GMT time in the past to a different time zone e.g. EST? You can't just take the hours off as there is often daylight saving hours to take into consideration.
I got a problem solving on how to convert the following time zone all into EST. My server is currently in EST but i need to convert the following time zone [PST,MST,CST] all into EST given all the exact time. eg 09:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM MST, 2:00 PM CST etc etc.
PST to EST MST to EST CST to EST
I've been working for this a week now and i hope somebody will give me sample code
I'm using brinkster, and am trying to change the Time Zone, 5 hours forward to London UK time, and also, reduce the rime by 7 minutes, as their server is off by that many minutes - I asked them to change it, the said no, it's correct, but I synchronse time with time.windows.com and the time was 7 minutes behind from brinkster.
You may think I'm being a pain, but on my site, the products I add are time dependent and people need to know the exact time. the code is below, of course, with everything I try, I get an error, can someone please figure out my mistake. Many thanks + Happy new year every1
I am attempting to solve a date/time formatting issue is VBScript ASP pages. The ASP pages needs to determine what time zone the client browser is in and tell a COM object.
The COM object then reads information from a proprietary file and formats the date/time into the appropriate time zone and returns the information to the ASP in an XML form.
My question is how do I determine the client's time Zone using VBScript in ASP pages?
using now() instead of time(). but then when i want to print " thetime " onto a page, ill get something like "7/11/2005, 5:10:13 PM". how could i then separate the new date from the new time and print them to a page separately?
I would like to display the difference between the logging time [Session("start"] and the current time [now]. In hours minutes and seconds, I have tried a couple of things but all I see is gobbledy gook.
I have a website that I subscribe to that allows me to track tasks. I have an extra computer with a big monitor that i want to always display the task list. the problem is after so many hours I get logged out.
I need to need to reload that sign in url every few hours Code:
there i was just windering how do i compare a date/time vlaue in sql server agaisnt the computers' date/time. for example, if computer date/time is two months or 2 weeks before the database date/time do something
Currently working on a ASP for a friend, which requires the date and time on it. It pulls in entries from an Access Database with dates and times in the format of:
"Fri Oct 17 18:02:46 2003" However my date and time on the ASP page is displayed as: "Friday, October 17, 2003 18:02:46" using the script: "<%Session.LCID = 1033%> <%=FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate)%> <%Session.LCID = 2057%> <%=time()%>"
Anyone know how to change this script, fully or partly to produce the date and time on the format that's in the access database i.e. "Fri Oct 17 18:02:46 2003" Code:
I am working on a database that collects information about incidents. One of the fields that people enter is the time of the incident. I am trying to convert that string that people enter into a OdbcType.Time and I am at a lost.
When the Form is submitted I use the Date() and Time() functions to put the date and time into the Body part of the e-mail. The time reported is three hours earlier than the time at which the Form is actually submitted.
I understand these functions are evaluated on the server so the server must be in a time zone three hours earlier than where I am . Is there any way I can get the local time at the location where the user is actually located. ?
I am trying to compare the NOW time with a "deadline" time. Please help. Just not sure why this is not working. I need to be able to say IF IT'S BEFORE 9:30 TODAY, IT'S OKAY TO ADD SOMETHING. IF IT'S AFTER 9:30 TODAY, YOU MUST ADD IT TOMORROW.
CODE:
nowtime=now() deadlinetime=formatdatetime(now(),2) + " 8:30:00 AM" response.write "NOW: " & nowtime & "<BR>" response.write "Deadline: " & deadlinetime & "<BR>" if nowtime<deadlinetime then response.write "can send out today" end if if nowtime>deadlinetime then response.write "must send out tomorrow" end if
RESULTS: NOW: 1/18/2007 8:51:43 AM Deadline: 1/18/2007 8:30:00 AM can send out today
As you can see, NOW is GREATER THAN Deadline, so it should must send out tomorrow.
i want to calculate the total time between to dates and time.
Example: Total time elapsed from date 1 time 1 to date 2 time 2.
27/09/2004 11:00 - 28/09/2004 10:30
The user enters a record and then later comes back and closes it. I need to know the time it took from when they entered the record until the time it was closed.
I am writing an XML file with lots of Data and it takes time but before the operation can be finished I get this error

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
Would anyone know if there is an easy and clean way of presenting maybe a time control field in html in an .asp page that allows a user to specify a certain time of the day? Currently using an <input name="SpecifyTime" type="Text"field but was wondering if there was a better way of doing this as to where users won't mistype in entering non time related characters?
Would it be a stupid idea to use the Log Util component to retrieve the UTC date/time? It appears that the DateTime property could be used for this, but I'm not really sure how it searches through the log file.
I am using ADO to connect to SQL 7.0. At times the connection timeout expires. Is there any way to inrease the default time out? I think currently its 60 secs. Here is the code that I use to establish ADO connection.
