new Date() for a specific timezone in JavaScript

Question

I am working on a project and I was just curious if it was possible in JavaScript to call new Date() for a specific timezone. When I say:

var test = new Dat         


        

Answer 1

Checkout moment-timezone.js which makes working with Dates and timezones a lot easier in javascript.

The example on the frontpage shows how it works:

var newYork    = moment.tz("2014-06-01 12:00", "America/New_York");
var losAngeles = newYork.clone().tz("America/Los_Angeles");
var london     = newYork.clone().tz("Europe/London");

newYork.format();    // 2014-06-01T12:00:00-04:00
losAngeles.format(); // 2014-06-01T09:00:00-07:00
london.format();     // 2014-06-01T17:00:00+01:00
