<h1>Automatic Timezone Detection Using JavaScript</h3>
<p class="info">This script is open source and hosted as <a href="https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect"/>jsTimezoneDetect @ Bitbucket</a>.</p>
<div id="content">
<p id="tz_info"> sss </p>
</div>
<h3>How do I test this script?</h3>
<p class="instructions">To test the detection script, simply change your system timezone and refresh this page. In Chrome you will have to open a new tab for the new timezone to be detected, and Safari needs to be restarted (unfortunately nothing that JavaScript can solve).</p>
<h3>What is the Olson Database?</h3>
<p class="instructions">The Olson database, also known as the <strong>tz database</strong>. Is a public domain collaborative compilation of information about the world's timezones.</p>
<p class="instructions">It is widely used as basis for timezone information in operating systems and software. Most platforms and programming languages have libraries that support it.</p>
<p class="instructions"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database">More at Wikipedia!</a></p>
<h3 class="omg">I don't like the timezone this script gives me!</h3>
<p class="instructions">This script does not do geolocation. It simply picks the most populated timezone among several roughly identical ones.</p>
<p class="instructions">For example, it is impossible to distinguish between different cities in Europe. This script will return Europe/Berlin regardless of where you live in the Central European timezone.</p>
<p class="instructions"><a href="https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect/wiki/Detection_List">Click here for the list of timezones this script is able to detect</a>.</p>
<h3 class="omg">NO CAN HAZ TIMEZONEZ?!?11</h3>
<p class="instructions">If this script fails to correctly determine your timezone, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect/issues/new">Please report it!</a></p>
<p class="instructions">When you report an issue. Please tell us </p>
