Convert from UTC Time zone to Local TIme Zone

[Suzi167]

Hello,

I am working on a web application which stores all Dates in GMT time zone.

When I display the dates to the user I need to display them in their local time zone.

So for example in my DB I have a date 08.07.2009 14:45:23 and this is GMT time

When the user views the page I need it to display 08.07.2009 10:45:23 .

HOw can I do that with Javascript function.

I have done some research but no luck

here is the function so far:

function ToLocalTimeZone(gmt)
    {
     
        var gmtDate = new Date(gmt);
       }

according to what I'veread that shouhld automatically convert it to the local time zone on the client but it does not.

I've also tried using var localDate = gmtDate.toLocaleString();

but I still get the original date only the format has changed a bit.

Thank you very much in advance

Susan
