Hi everyone,

I have done some searches but non of them give a a solution.

I have donwloaded and tested these 2 zip files on the server.

[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50817](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50817) ([[COLOR=#810081]countdownserver.zip[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=785&d=1079645853))

and

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown2.htm) ([[COLOR=#003366]servercountdown.zip[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/code/servercountdown.zip))

I tested on my server and confirmed that I am able to get the server time. However, when I change the client machine (PC timezone), the countdown time will change as well. I thought it won’t make any different even I have changed the client machine’s timezone because the offset will base on server time.

May I know what I have done wrong? Am I in the right track?

Hope any of you can help. Thanks!
