i am working on a clock and i cant seem to get the time right.  
Hosting in another timezone, a site with a clock

i would have the clock run my GMT time for my visitors

thougt i’d solve the problem using the following code:

myDate = new Date();  
timeTextField = ((myDate.getHours()-2) + “:” + myDate.getMinutes() + “:” + myDate.getSeconds());  
play();

but it seems it will just deduct two units of my time so 01:00 will give a fail…

any suggestions?
