Getting local comupter time. I want to get IST time in javascript.

Answer 1

The following will allow you to convert local time to IST time:

var currentTime = new Date();

var currentOffset = currentTime.getTimezoneOffset();

var ISTOffset = 330;   // IST offset UTC +5:30 

var ISTTime = new Date(currentTime.getTime() + (ISTOffset + currentOffset)*60000);

// ISTTime now represents the time in IST coordinates

var hoursIST = ISTTime.getHours()
var minutesIST = ISTTime.getMinutes()

document.write("<b>" + hoursIST + ":" + minutesIST + " " + "</b>")
