I am wanting to use the server time, or a specific time zone (-5 GMT) to have the update date/time button refer to. Right now this script references the users local time when they click the update date/time button.
My problem is simply that I have many users in different time zones, and when they update an entry, it doesn't make any logical sense to the other time zones. So to make it logical, if they are seeing the same time it can be related to one another.
Thank you for any help!

function setcompleted()

var myDate = new Date();
var str = (myDate.getMonth()+1) + "/" + pad(myDate.getDate()) + "/" + myDate.getFullYear();
str += " " + pad(myDate.getHours()) + ":" + pad(myDate.getMinutes());
document.forms[0].date_time.value=str;
}
function pad(num)
{
if (num < 10)
return "0" + num;
else
return num;
}
