title: Are Javascript date/time functions dependent on the client machine?
body: <p>I was wondering if Javascript date/time functions will always return <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS291US305&amp;q=current+time&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=&amp;aqi=g10" rel="noreferrer">correct, universal dates/times</a> 
  or whether, Javascript being a client-side language, they are dependent on what the client machine has its date set to.</p>
  
  <p>If it is dependent on the client machine, what is the best way to get the correct universal time?</p>
