Javascript Countdown Timer Timezone Problem

is it possible to have the countdown timer same for all people regardless of their timezone, when i put a date now the timer will show different depending on the timezone, and i wa

Solution 1:

You are essentially building your target time as:

newDate("Dec 16, 2020 03:10:25")

That's a non-standard format, and is going to be interpreted in terms of local time by most browsers.

Instead, pick a UTC-based point in time, and pass it in ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 format.

For example, if you meant 3:10:25 in a time zone with a UTC+1 offset, subtract 1 hour to get 2:10:25 UTC, represented like this:

newDate("2020-12-16T02:10:25Z")

Use values in that format in your source array and everyone will have the same target for the countdown. Keep in mind that the Z at the end means UTC, so don't forget to include that. :)

Alternatively, you could use local time and the local offset that's in effect for that time, rather than subtracting. That looks like this:

newDate("2020-12-16T03:10:25+01:00")

You can use either form, depending on which is easier for you.

Solution 2:

You may use getTimezoneOffset to further adjust the time so that everyone can use the say UTC time. (The time-zone offset is the difference, in minutes, between UTC and local time. )

var offset=newDate().getTimezoneOffset();
console.log(offset);
