which provides the link to the set of rules bing used. Sets of rules, plural - Europe/Minsk switched between "C-Eur", "Russia", and "-" i.e. "none", and is currently using "none" rather than "Russia" (as is Europe/Moscow).
That was my mistake ... I had not actually checked and had in mind that MSK was a Russian rule set ... rather than a single fixed offset. The problem with using any of the abbreviations as a timezone identifier is exactly the same problem as happens with the 'time offset' still incorrectly supplied via the browser. One has no idea if the client is in a DST zone or simply a fixed offset. The time zone identifier is the only thing that reliably identifies if DST is in use! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
