I'm working with your below code, many thanks.
The part that has stumped me is <that grabs the timezone from the
header>
I create a WOHiddenField in the WOForm, ( I do know the javascript is
loading and being called )
HiddenFld_TimeZone: WOHiddenField {
name = "x-clientTimeZoneOffset";
value = timeZoneJS;
}
<p><webobject name="HiddenFld_TimeZone"></webobject></p>
String timeZoneJS;
But I look at the request field and the <value> of the name <x-
clientTimeZoneOffset> is "".
If I remove the Hidden field nothing is written into the (WORequest>
from the line
document.write('<input type="hidden" name="x-clientTimeZoneOffset"
value="' + clientTimeZoneOffset * 60 * -1 + '" />');
I guess the simple question is, how do I get the value into the java
from the javascript line below?

I have work to do. I will have to create the UI to get the
timezone, store the timezone in the database, and use it in the
various date displays.

Thanks. One thing you might consider is using this javascript:
// This code lifted from 'http://www.mkolar.org/javascript/
clock.html' and liberally modified
var now = new Date();
var clientTimeZoneOffset = now.getTimezoneOffset();
if (clientTimeZoneOffset) {
document.write('<input type="hidden" name="x-
clientTimeZoneOffset" value="' + clientTimeZoneOffset * 60 * -1 +
'" />');
}
It creates a header that specifies the timezone as the client
machine sees it. I drop this javascript into a WO component that
grabs the timezone from the header and sets it in the user's session.
