Um. Not to be rude, but is there a question here? What do you need? How to format the HTML? A list of timezones? You need to do something with the value once selected?

Confused :confused:

Ohhh, so wait. You want to dynamically create the SELECT object with javascript? If so, would you store the timezone data in an array? AND, what do you want to use for the option values? The GMT offset? The timezone name? The timezone abbreviated code?

That was helpful..thanks...

NOW this is what i wanted.....

Dynamically create the SELECT object with javascript storing timezone data in an array..and using GMT offset for the OPTIONS...values.

Also if i have 2 fields

1. TIME..................regular text edit(display military time)
2. TIMEZONES.......the dropdown list as described above

Depending on what time zone I select ..the appropriate Time in a 12 hr format AM/PM gets displayed.

PHEW..its eating my brains this thingy!
