To get the clients time offset you'll need to use javascript and
date.getTimezoneOffset()

But this idea has a problem. It is that you can never trust that the
clients time is actually correct. You can get the closest to it by
using the server time and offsetting that with the javascript offset
value. But you'll never know if the client has the wrong timezone and
you'll have to deal with timezones that don't have daylight savings
like for instance Iceland :)
