Hi folks ^^

Ok think it’s gonna be pretty easy but can’t find any solution on  
internet…I need to get the client local time in order to get  
database informations in function of the client time and not the  
server one. How can I do with RoR?

Any idea?

Olivier.

You’d have to write some javascript to do that (and then hope that the  
user has the time set correctly)
