Hi ,

I am having any application whose client base is in Australia, the
application is hosted in USA.

Brief Overview :- Application sets new menus every month.

I am facing the following problems :-

a) When a user is accessing the application on May 1st 2007 from Australia
currently he is viewing the April menu.
He should be viewing May menu.(This is happening bcos in USA at that
time it is only April 30th)

Any Solution for it will be helpful.


Regards
Vinod

Use Javascript to pick up the local time of the client computer and send
that back to the server. That way you can calculate the time difference
and use the local time of the client to decide what menu to display.

I reccomend the process of calculating the time difference instead of
just using the client time, because otherwise the application depends on
the date setting of the client computer to be correct.

If it's only for Australia, use a timeoffset... but Australia has a 3
times zones (which time do you need?)
