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

Use this for UTC and Local time convert and vice versa.

//Covert datetime by GMT offset 
//If toUTC is true then return UTC time other wise return local time
function convertLocalDateToUTCDate(date, toUTC) {
    date = new Date(date);
    //Local time converted to UTC
    console.log("Time: " + date);
    var localOffset = date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
    var localTime = date.getTime();
    if (toUTC) {
        date = localTime + localOffset;
    } else {
        date = localTime - localOffset;
    }
    date = new Date(date);
    console.log("Converted time: " + date);
    return date;
}
