local timezone?

[wmgilligan]

Is it possible to get the users timezone (or OS time) and pass that to mivascript?
- does the 'local' setting in something like time_t_dayofmonth( time_t, 'local' ) actually do it?

OS could be gathered from parsing s.http_user_agent
Local time would have to use IP to lookup local, and then use that to lookup time zone to use as an offest. however, i bet there's a service that might return local time if you send IP/s.time_t

I can't help on the how to get it into miva part since javascript only runs when the user loads the page. I'm sure someone knows how....
