Why doesn't HAD make a simple JavaScript time display. JavaScript not only has access to the time as set by the users system (including their GMT offset), it can also express the date in the users system locale settings ie mm/dd/yyyy - dd/mm/yy etc
Err.. That has nothing to do with timezones. That's a countdown timer - at least that's what I see browsing on my phone.
Better than nothing of course, But being informed that an event is happening in 12 days, 17 hours and 23 minutes doesn't give me as usable data as if I was told it was at 2.30pm Thursday 17'th.
Hey, could you please add a link that is generated by http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html or some similar service when you announce times? I have a hard time figuring out when 1 pm PDT is in ICT or MYT time is in my head. I'm sure you have a rather large international audience that have the same problem as me with international times.
