Determine a user's timezone

Question

Is there a standard way for a web server to be able to determine a user\'s timezone within a web page?

Perhaps from an HTTP header or part of the user-agent

Answer 1

There are no HTTP headers that will report the clients timezone so far although it has been suggested to include it in the HTTP specification.

If it was me, I would probably try to fetch the timezone using clientside JavaScript and then submit it to the server using Ajax or something.
