Getting user's time from web revlet?

[Tim Selander]

I was the original poster and this has been a very interesting 
thread, though a fair bit of it has been over my head as I don't 
know javascript, nor html, very well.

I'm working on a simple web based To Do list for some family 
members to share. Pops up items based on date. But I'm in Tokyo, 
other users are in China and the US--it's Monday here while still 
Sunday for you in the US. Want to pop up the items based on the 
date of the user, whether in Asia, US or Europe.

I found some javascript solutions on the net, and now Sarah has 
posted a very easy to understand javascript (Sarah, you're 
amazing). Now I have to figure out how to get the javascript 
result into an irev variable... looks like I'll be exploring 
cookies...
