js 获取当前gmt时间,在JS中获取客户端时区（不是GMT偏移量）

I need to determine the client timezone (e.g. CET, GMT, EST) in JS. Getting the offset is straightforward, but doesn't have all the info necessary to determine the TZ, at least not easily. I have a feeling it might be possible to use a combination of offset, whether DST is in use and in effect, etc. but I'm hoping someone else has done the work already, especially considering the weird exceptions when dealing with time.

This question is similar but both the question and the answer are based on the (incorrect) assumption every browser's DateString format includes the name of the timezone - which it does not. That is an implementation detail.

So, with that I am currently stuck.

See this question. It's not doable in the general case, but for picking a default timezone from a shortlist of likely cases, you can make a decent guess.

Allow the user to override it for when you guess wrong.
