getTimezoneOffset issue

[deluxmilkman]

i wrote this to change my embedded swf depending on the location,
but it's not working.
it also disable other javascript on the page.

myDate = new Date();
myTD = myDate.getTimezoneOffset();
if ((myTD >= 180) && (myTD < 480)){
document.mySWF.src="alaska.swf";
}else if((myTD >=1 80) && (myTD < 180)){
document.mySWF.src="england.swf";
}else if((myTD >= -540) && (myTD < -180)){
document.mySWF.src="japan.swf";
}else{
document.mySWF.src="hawai.swf";
}

thanx for your help.

I don't know exactly how the embed tag works. You could try dom setAttribute method and assign an id to your tag and then get the tag using getElementById(id).setAttribute(urattrib,"blah"). I think though it would be easier to have a div and set its innerHTML property to a different obj/embed string for each time zone. I recall that is how the swobject javascript sort of worked. It used to be a decent way of embeding flash movies. You can even have a the div populated with a gif or something for none flash users and write over it if javascript and flash are enabled.
