You mean like this?

        var aDate   = new Date().getTimezoneOffset()/60
        document.writeln(aDate   )

The *getTimezoneOffset* method returns an integer value representing the 
number of minutes between the time on the current machine and UTC.

and yes, this implies adjusting  for daylight savings time, what it 
cannot tell you is whether you are in daylight savings time, which may 
be what you are alluding to, but for the purposes of setting a default 
calendar offset (as opposed to entering times) this may be entirely 
appropriate, especially if any sizable portion of users work in floating 
time.

As for rendering time, I assume the calendar events are returned in UTC 
with an offset if a timezone is assigned.


Jeremy.
