javascript time EST/CST

Question

I know this is probably a noob question, My website is hosted out of a computer in the CST, I need something to display Monday at 12:00:00 AM EST.

 var d = new Date();
 if (d.getDate() == 27) 
 {
      document.write(banner [0], banner [6], banner [5], banner [4])
 }
 else
 {
      document.write(banner [6], banner [5], banner [4], banner[1])
 }

Is there a simple way to change this over with the

d.setUTCHours(-1) object? 

Answer 1

Although document.write by no way is Java but since the question is tagged as Java. You may try like this to display the time in EST

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));

EDIT:-

However if you want to use that in Javascript then try to use Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset()

The time-zone offset is the difference, in minutes, between UTC and local time. Note that this means that the offset is positive if the local timezone is behind UTC and negative if it is ahead. For example, if your time zone is UTC+10 (Australian Eastern Standard Time), -600 will be returned. Daylight saving time prevents this value from being a constant even for a given locale.

Answer 2

Using timezone-js

var dt = new timezoneJS.Date('11/27/2013', 'America/New_York');
