title: How to calculate eastern time using Javascript Date object?
body: <p>I'm working on a personal project involving Javascript, and as part of that project, I want to grab the current date (including time) and display it accordingly. No big deal right? Well, the <em>deal</em> is that I want to return the time &amp; date in <em>Eastern Daylight TIme</em>, no matter where in the world the IP is.</p>
  
  <p>If this is not possible, what alternative methods do you suggest? Does php have this functionality? I could write a simple php script that takes a date and converts it, but I want to keep this in JS if at all possible. </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to think through the best way to do this, but I'd appreciate any help that you could offer.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
