@CharlesAug 11.2003 — [font=georgia]That means that the time is offset one hour from Universal Time. UTC is sort of like GMT except that leap seconds are ignored.

If you don't like that format you can use [font=monospace]new Date().toLocaleString()[/font] to have the date and time formatted according to the user's preference or we can write a routine that will format it any way that you the web author would prefer.[/font]

@nkaisareAug 11.2003 — So, the visitors to your site are so dumb that they can't figure out what the current time is unless they visit your site?

@pyroAug 11.2003 — On my computer, I can look down to the lower-right hand side and get the current time (not even just the time I started viewing your page -- what if I'm on the page for 10 minutes?)
