You can use this script. http://pellepim.bitbucket.org/jstz/

Fork or clone repository here. https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect

Once you include the script, you can get the list of timezones in - jstz.olson.timezones variable.

And following code is used to determine client browser's timezone.

var tz = jstz.determine();
tz.name();
