Really isn't much of a headache. All you do is add a hidden field and a
tiny tiny script snippet. If the field is blank, user is not using
javascript so you'll just display it as GMT. To fill the field just use
something like this:
<input name="timezone" id="timezone" type="hidden" value="" />
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('timezone').value = new
Date().getTimeZoneOffset(); // this should all be in one line
</script>
And there you have it, no headache at all.
