Clock Time Issue

[PcolaSteve]

This may not be the right forum and I apologize in advance for this. Perhaps someone has heard of this issue or can point me in the right direction.

I have a site with a time/date script. It shows correctly, (I am in the U.S., CDT zone,) with one exception. When I test it on my PDA the time and date showing is exactly 5 hours ahead of what it should be. I checked my PDA's time and settings and they are all set correctly and the time is correct but when I go to the site it still shows 5 hours later. I checked with my carrier and they have no clue either. Any clues?

Sounds like your script is using UTC rather than local time...

Ok, that makes sense except on all of the machines I have tried it out on it shows the correct date/time. Only on my PDA does it show incorrectly. I double checked the settings on my PDA and it is set to the correct time zone, so I am stuck. Here is my code for the time script.

<script type="text/javascript"> //script for time function

function updateClock(){
var currentTime = new Date();
var currentHours = currentTime.getHours();
var currentMinutes = currentTime.getMinutes();
var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds();

currentMinutes = ( currentMinutes < 10 ? "0" : "") + currentMinutes;
currentSeconds = ( currentSeconds < 10 ? "0" : "") + currentSeconds;

var timeOfDay = ( currentHours < 12 ) ? "AM" : "PM";
currentHours = ( currentHours > 12 ) ? currentHours -12 : currentHours;
currentHours = ( currentHours == 0 ) ? 12: currentHours;
var currentTimeString = currentHours + ":" + currentMinutes + ":" + currentSeconds + " " + timeOfDay;
document.getElementById("clock").firstChild.nodeValue = currentTimeString;
}
</script>
