Recently I got requirement to fill-in field on a web resource with current user time (CRM settings should be took into account).
I use following code to implement requirement:
1. Retrieve user settings 2. Ask server to execute UtcTimeToLocalTime request with user time zone provided
This is code:

This is code:
DateTimeHelper = {};
(function (DateTimeHelper, jQuery, $) {
DateTimeHelper.GetUserLocalTime = function (date) {
var userId = context().getUserId();
var settings = getCurrentUserSettings(userId);
var timeZoneCode = settings.TimeZoneCode;
var dateTime = Teoco.DateTimeHelper.UtcTimeToLocalTime(timeZoneCode, date);
return dateTime;
};
DateTimeHelper.UtcTimeToLocalTime = function (timeZoneCode, dateTime) {
var req = getXhr();
req.open("POST", getServicePath(), false);

var xml =

return date;

function getCurrentUserSettings(userId) {
var request = "/UserSettingsSet?$filter=SystemUserId eq guid'" + userId + "'";
var settings = null;
callOData(request,
function (data) {
if(data != null && data.results != null && data.results.length != 0)
{
settings = data.results[0];
}
},
function (xhr) {
});
if (settings == null) {
alert("Failed to load current user settings");
throw "Failed to load current user settings";
}
return settings;
}
function callOData(request, onSuccess, onError) {
var req = getXhr();
req.open("GET", getODataPath() + request, false);
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
req.send();
if (req.status === 200) {
onSuccess(JSON.parse(req.responseText).d);

}
function getServicePath() {
return getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";
}
function getODataPath() {
return getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/";
}
function getClientUrl() {
var serverUrl = typeof context().getClientUrl !== "undefined" ? context().getClientUrl() : context().getServerUrl();
if (serverUrl.match(/\/$/)) {
serverUrl = serverUrl.substring(0, serverUrl.length - 1);
}
return serverUrl;
}
function context() {
var oContext;
if (typeof window.GetGlobalContext != "undefined") {
oContext = window.GetGlobalContext();
}
else {
if (typeof Xrm != "undefined") {
oContext = Xrm.Page.context;
}
else if (typeof window.parent.Xrm != "undefined") {
oContext = window.parent.Xrm.Page.context;
}
else {
throw new Error("Context is not available.");
}
}
return oContext;
}
function getXhr() {
if (XMLHttpRequest) {
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
try {
return new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0');
} catch (e) {
try {
return new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0');
} catch (e) {
alert('This browser is not AJAX enabled.');
return null;
}
}
}
})(DateTimeHelper, jQuery, jQuery);
And this is usage example:
var today = Teoco.DateTimeHelper.GetUserLocalTime(new Date());
