IntroductionA gap in HTML is that date and time values cannot be represented using actual time zone identifiers. The I18N WG note Working with Time Zones describes various use cases in which local time offset ("time zone offset" in HTML parlance) is insufficient for representing or exchange date or time values. For example, the various time values in HTML can include zone
offsets. Thus, you can have a time value such as Currently, this is approximately the same as the Pacific Daylight Time in the USA at that time of year. However, it is also the same as Mountain Standard Time (which is observed in the Time zone rules change reasonably often and arbitrarily. Time zone identifiers help insulate software from these changes by abstracting the relationship between "wall time" of the event and the internal "incremental time" representation (generally milliseconds from a particular date in UTC). When a time zone identifier is used instead of an offset, the appropriate local time offset from UTC can be computed using the time zone's current and historical information rather than being fixed. In addition, future changes to time zone rules do not require changes to the time zone identifier and can be applied seamlessly, rather than needing to modify the time value. This can have legal consequences. Option contracts, for example, have their expiry times given as such-and-such a date, "5 PM New York time" (or "London time"), which protects buyers against the vagaries of time zone changes: what is meant is whatever is 5 PM on that day in the time zone including New York or London. Since the current offset where the user is located may not correspond to that time zone and the current offset in that zone may not apply on the given date (because of, for example, the Daylight/Summer time transition), indicating the actual time zone is necessary in order to have a complete and accurate transaction. Since the actual time zone rules are useful or important in determining the actual wall time of events or the relationship of a date or time value to UTC, particularly when working with recurring events or when converting visual "time picker" controls to a date object, the page author needs a mechanism for expressing the time zone of a time value. This document proposes to extend time-bearing elements in HTML to allow a time zone identifier. The affected elements appear to be: ProposalAdd the attribute The The Example: When the Parsing of a
time value that contains a time zone offset ignores the For example, consider this element: The value of A user agent displaying this value, however, would apply the tz attribute. For the date shown, the time zone America/Los_Angeles has a local time offset of -07:00. So this dateTime value would be shown as something like "June 9, 2014 8:00 AM PDT". Other AlternativesThe most obvious alternative would be to establish an extension of ISO8601's syntax that incorporates time zone identifiers directly into date and time values. This extension would then be incorporated into HTML by modifying or extending the formats in the "Dates and Times" section of HTML5 Common Microsyntaxes [1] to include the new syntax. For example, one might define a valid zone ID extension to use an "@" sign as a separator: The problem with this approach is: existing browsers or servers that receive these values would reject them as malformed or otherwise fail to parse them correctly.

How to get the timezone of a string in HTML?There's no such way to figure the timezone in the actual HTML code or any user-agent string, but what you can do is make a basic function getting it using JavaScript. I don't know how to code with JavaScript yet so my function might take time to make.
How to change the timezone of a session in JavaScript?In short, the described approach relies on the JavaScript getTimezoneOffset function, which returns the value that is saved in the session cookie and used by code-behind to adjust time values between GMT and local time. The nice thing is that the user does not need to specify the time zone (the code does it automatically).
How to set default time zone in a PHP website?You can list various time zones in the register page and save that in the database. After this, if the user logs in to the site then you can set the default time zone for that session as per the users’ selected time zone. You can set any specific time zone using the PHP function date_default_timezone_set.
How do I enter the time in HTML?The defines a control for entering a time (no time zone). Tip: Always add the
How do you add time zones in HTML?You can use moment-timezone:. Get list of time zones using moment. tz. names(). Get the zone object for each time zone by using moment. tz. zone(name). How do I change the time zone on my website?Method 1: Using Developer Tools to Change Chrome Timezone
Open DevTools in Chrome -> Open the Console drawer. Click on the three-dotted menu -> Click on More tools -> Sensors. From the Sensors tab, set the location according to your preference and define the specific timezone.
How do you format time zones?For formatting, the RFC 822 4-digit time zone format is used: +/-HHmm, which represents the current offset from GMT in hours and minutes. Hours must be 00 - 23, always expressed as two digits, and minutes must be 00 - 59. For parsing, general time zones are also accepted.
How do you set time zones in UTC?(GMT-5:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is -5:00, and if the UTC time is shown as 11:00, add -5 to 11. The time setting when adjusted for offset is 06:00 (6:00 A.M.). Note The date also follows UTC format.
