title: ColdFusion Timezone Support?
body: <p>Does ColdFusion 8 have any built-in support for handling timezones? We'd like our users to be able to choose a timezone and then have all dates/times on the site adjusted to their locale. Currently we're asking users to set an offset from server time, and it's a headache because they have to go in a couple times each year and manually adjust for daylight savings time.</p>
  
  <p>We're running CF8 on Windows and all dates/times are stored in SQL Server 2005 in Pacific Time. So when Windows auto-adjusts the local clock between Daylight and Standard time, a certain number of our users need to adjust their offset from server time.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked through the <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_c-d_27.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">International Functions</a>, and none of them seem to convert between timezones. We don't want to turn to a Web Service to get offset/daylight info if it's built into the JVM, and ideally we'd stick with CF functions if they're available. Seems like a common need so I'm surprised there's nothing built into CF to handle this. Is there? </p>
