Hi I have a widget with the datetime form on it but it only takes the timezone of the server therefore always giving me not the time I need.

What can I do in order to get the client's timezone information?

Extend the widget and use JavaScript logic to get that value. There is quite a bit information on the web that talks about using JavaScript to get the client timezone. For example:

For information about extending a CQ widget -- see:

Hope this helps

Thanks! Do you happen know where else there is another tutorials on extending CQ widgets? I find that the documentation found on that particular page to be difficult to understand for an up and learning CQ developer such as myself. smiley
