Format timestamp according to a given timezone

[badtant]

Hi!

I have a timestamp that I use to print a time useing this code:
Globalize.format(new Date(timestamp), "T");

This will result in different times according to witch timezone the client is in. Is there any easy way to provide a timezone (in my case +01) to Globalize and get dates and times corrected to this timezone?

Thanks

Sorry for barging in, but you can write a simple function that does that.
Just make a new date and subtract you're current timezone offset from UTC.
Here's a simple example (CoffeeScript / Javascript):

get_new_date_in_local_time: (date) ->
date = new Date date
new Date date.getTime() + (date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000)

getNewDateInLocalTime = function(date){
date = new Date(date);
return new Date(date.getTime() + (date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000);
}

You can just put it inside globalize.js and use it.

Hope it helps.

Closing in favor of #202, which will define how timezone will be addressed in new Globalize 1.x rewrite.
