I have a countdown clock that is set to countdown to 8am on January 1, 2014.
I am using the following code to set the date:
var futureDate = new Date(2014, 0, 1, 8, 0, 0, 0);
This works but I would like to take it a step further and set it to a specific timezone. In my case UTC -7.
I have read this answer which says to use:
new Date(Date.UTC(year, month, day, hour, minute, second))
but what I am confused about is how I set the timezone to be UTC -7 and what I read online only leaves me more confused.
Can someone explain how Date.UTC works and how do I set a timezone so my countdown clock is counting down based on the specified timezone?
Note: Any answer must be client side only code.
