This is something that's been nagging me. Although there's a bunch of good options for selecting a date (or date/time) as JavaScript components bult into Tapestry, or available elsewhere ... none of them address the issue of the client and the server operating in different time zones.
At the very least, these components probably should include a time zone drop down list (or other means of selection). I haven't been able to find a sure-fire way of determing the user's time zone from the HttpRequest. I'm curious what kinds of solutions the community have used to address this issue. It would be nice to come up with a true solution for Tapestry 5.3. One option is a bit of JavaScript that reports the client's time zone (or just time) to the server so that the server can identify their time zone automatically. -- Howard M.
