local client time

[gagz]

do asp.net date functions take time of the web server? How would I get the time from users machine? So I can say Good Morning, afternooon, etc?

Gagz,

ASP.NET is server-side hence it will use the date/time on the server. If you wish to use the client's date/time, use javascript (client-side).

Check this example out for ideas:

DUH! I should have realized that... thanks!

one little quirk... I only say good morning/afternoon, etc if they have a current session going (ie are logged in), any good tricks to get javascript to see asp.net session variables?

Easy,

just print the javascript to the browser if the session variable satisfies your test!

James.
