How to get the locatime using javascript

Hi experts,

I am using this js function for getting the local time according to country where the website is viewed.
If the website is viewed in singapore it shud show the singapore local time.
If the website is viewed in hongkong it shud show the Hongkong local time.

It is not working for me... OR is there any other way??

URGENT...Thanks.

// JScript File
var WindowObjectReference = null;
//Region Time Display Function
/*Time Display Function for all Website pages*/
    var worldtime = new Array()
    
    worldtime[0]="Hong Kong,8"
 
    var hours
    var shifthours
    var minutes
    var seconds
    var localhours
    function showTime()
    {
        for (i=0; i<=worldtime.length-1;i++) 
        {
		    thisplace=worldtime[i].split(",")
		    thistime= new Date()
		    hours=thistime.getUTCHours()
		    hours=eval(hours)
		    shifthours=eval(thisplace[1])
		    localhours=eval(shifthours+hours)
		    if (localhours <0) {localhours=24+localhours}
		    if (localhours >=24) {localhours=localhours-24}
    	     
		    minutes=thistime.getUTCMinutes()
		    seconds=thistime.getUTCSeconds()
    	
		    if (thisplace[0]=='Delhi') 
		    {
			    minutes=eval(minutes+30)
			    if (minutes>=60) {
				    minutes=eval(minutes-60)
				    localhours=eval(localhours+1)
			        }
		    }
		    if (eval(minutes) < 10) {minutes="0"+minutes}
		    if (eval(seconds) < 10) {seconds="0"+seconds}
		    if (eval(localhours) < 10) {localhours="0"+localhours}
    		    
 
		       
		        if(document.getElementById('hdate')!=null && thisplace[0]=='Hong Kong')
		            document.getElementById('hdate').innerText = thistime.toLocaleDateString()+ ' ' + localhours+":"+minutes;
        }
        
            setTimeout("showTime()",1000)
    }
    
    showTime();
//End Region Time Display Function
</script>

Get Indian Standard Time from visitor's local computer time.
Add getTimezoneOffset to get GMT/UTC
Add +330 minutes (IST is +5.5 hrs ahead of GMT) to get IST

function getCurrentIST(){
var dte = new Date();
dte.setTime(dte.getTime() +
(dte.getTimezoneOffset()+330)*60*1000);
document.write(dte.toLocaleString());
}The function written below, converts GMT time string into visitors local time, takes care of Daylight Savings too.
