    <p>I am using <a href="http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/" rel="nofollow">Timepicker</a> jQuery plugin in order to allow the input of time in addition to date.</p> <p>However, I have been struggling for some time to make it understand that the time that I actually pick is not the local time:</p> <p>My users are actually picking the time that a maintenance is going to take place in Hong Kong.</p> <p>So "2013/09/30, 14:00" is actually the time in Asia/Hong_Kong TimeZone.</p> <p>I have been using also the <a href="https://github.com/mde/timezone-js" rel="nofollow">timezone-js</a> library which is very good at manipulating and converting between timezones.</p> <p>My code is this:</p> <p>jQuery init:</p> <pre><code>jQuery(function (){ jQuery('#trouble_ticket_start, #trouble_ticket_end').datetimepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', showButtonPanel: true, gotoCurrent: true }); </code></pre> <p>Before anybody asks, I have installed the Olson timezone files correctly.</p> <p>Now firing up the JS Console in Chrome:</p> <pre><code>dt = jQuery("#trouble_ticket_start").datepicker("getDate"); &gt;&gt; Mon Sep 30 2013 14:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST) </code></pre> <p>The above is correct. However, I want my timezone to default to Hong Kong. Is it possible to do it?</p> <p>I am moving on and convert that to a timezone-js object:</p> <pre><code>dtj = new timezoneJS.Date(dt, 'Asia/Hong_Kong'); &gt;&gt; timezoneJS.Date {_useCache: false, _tzInfo: Object, _day: 1, year: 2013, month: 8…} dtj.toString(); &gt;&gt; "2013-09-30 20:00:00" dtj.getTimezone(); &gt;&gt; "Asia/Hong_Kong" </code></pre> <p>This is of course correct. But how can I default my initial time pick to Hong_Kong timeZone?</p> <p>Thanks in advance...</p> <p>pR</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
