All my Web pages below are BASE http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/

You request detail of other DST rules; see my uksumtim.htm for UK/EU. Date info in miscdate.htm & other pages via index.htm

Function LeapYear - use year % 4 etc.; programs/leapyear.pas

See jswkcalc.htm for Date <-> MJD, day of week, etc.; different to yours. Also does Easter. I'd like to select day-of-month by clicking position in textarea, and/or to make that area HTML.

See programs/dateprox.pas for my date routines, can be translated to JS, and programs/mjd_date tests them; go via programs/00index.htm.

Ideally, your DST statement should consider the time; US does not change until 0200h local.

All code dealing with dates needs the word Gregorian somewhere nearby.

Re adjusting clock - I read that one version of Windows just put the clock back in the right day from 3am to 2am - an hour later, it was again 3am, and it put the clock back ...

I'd *much* prefer an E-address for feedback rather than a WWW page; I'm a dial-up user with off-line main preparation. And a downloadable FAQ like Prof. Timo Salmi's Pascal one is better than a Web one.

This box is too small; open to 500*300 pixels!

HTH, regards.

uh, well the script doesnt work, what am I missing? If I display the value of 'todayMS' it is undefined. Kind of hard to compare something to another when it is undefined. Is there more to the script or perhaps an updated working version?
