Convert UTC date time to local date time

Question

From the server I get a datetime variable in this format: 6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM and it is in UTC time. I want to convert it to the current user’s browser time us

Answer 1

This works for me:

function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
    var newDate = new Date(date.getTime() - date.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);
    return newDate;   
}
