tzdetect.js

Goals

• detect the user timezone, or more precisely list all IANA time zone ids that are compatible with the running javascript engine
• limit data duplication by using the Moment.js version of the Olson tables

Demo

See http://dystroy.org/stackoverflow/timezonedetect.html

Usage

<script src="moment-with-langs.min.js"></script>
<script src="moment-timezone-with-data.min.js"></script>
<script src="tzdetect.js"></script>
<script>
    var tzid = tzdetect.matches()[0]; // for example : "Europe/Paris"
</script>
