Where does JavaScript get a new Date() from

Question

Where does JavaScript get a new Date() from?

Is it based on the client\'s local computers time settings or something else?

I can\'t find anywhere only where

Answer 1

Given you don't need an internet connection to use JavaScript, it gets the current date & time (and by proxy, the UTC offset/locale) from the client's local environment. You can test this by changing your local clock.

Just remember to change it back..:)
