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?
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.
View Replies View RelatedIs 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 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'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
Code:
<%=(DateAdd("n",-7,now()))(DateAdd("h",5,now()))%>
I was wondering if anyone knew how to determine how to determine the
client's time zone from within an ASP page?
how to either change the time zone or add three hours to the following?
View Replies View Relatedi can use this to change the time on my site by +2 hours:
offsetminutes=120
thetime=dateadd("n", offsetminutes, time())
but, say it's 11pm.. the script above will make it 1am, but will the date in " date() " go ahead one day too?
the other thing i could do is this:
offsetminutes=120
thetime=dateadd("n", offsetminutes, now())
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 working on a project where we will be hosting several websites on
the same server. These websites are built of a similar template and I
want to use the URL as a key to get settings from the database. Is
there a way to programatically get the website url in the

I know I could hard code it in but that leaves things open to user
error.
I am trying to reiterate through a for..next..loop using an integer (i). I would like to know when it is either a odd or an even number, insteading of using the simple version below:

else
Response.Write "<tr>" & vbcrlf
end if

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine if a field in a database is empty or not. The code I have is this....
(before this I have code that opens up the database, gets the data from the table. the var "content" holds the data if any from the database.)
if content = "" then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
This doesn't seem to work. I also tried...
if (content) then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
No luck yet. Any ideas?
When I run the following code, i get an error:

View Replies View RelatedI have a limited number of ad slots on my website, let's say there are
5. I have lots of people wanting to advertise in those slots, let's
say there are 100. They each join the queue for an ad slot on a first-
come, first-served basis.
I have been trying to find a way to
determine the active date for a queued item. For the first five items
in the queue it's easy, it's just the expiry date of the item in a
live slot that expires first. For the next five queued items it's
still easy, because it's just the expiry date of the item in the queue
that will expire first.
HOWEVER, after that it becomes more complex,
because the queued items will continually be slotting into live slots
as live items expire. So my question is, is there a straightforward
way, in ASP, of determining the active date for a queued item in a
queue of arbitrary size?

View Replies View RelatedI have a server that we installed a Web Application (ASP) and It works with
a few clients that we tested, IE 5.5, and it does not work on the server
machine itself. So we've tested a few thing.
Created a simple file with the contents of <html> <body> Hello World </body>
</html> Made one with .HTM extension and one with .ASP.
I can see the HTM file from all machines. I can only see the .ASP file on the machine running IE 5.5 The server itself cannot see the .ASP page. We places the files in the root of the server web and in the Application folder with the same results.
