Yes. However, Daylight Saving Time is something that is likely to bite you on any site with a static list of time zones. It won't know what state YOUR local time currently is in. If you go through the trouble of getting your DST setting from SysInfo, then do a "lookup" on some site, it might work ok. I think he would have the same issue with "portability" though.Either that, or a call to any site that has such a database of timezones and their abbreviations. Not sure how many of them use Javascript that WebParser can't reasonably deal with, but I can't believe that weather.com is the only site providing such an (otherwise simple) service. I mean, it's just a bunch of texts and their abbreviations, occasionally involving DST...
The real issue is that Time Zone "long name" is almost entirely meaningless. It's not really an official standard, and can be at the whim of whatever dictator runs the country you are in...
That is why there are 24 (or 38, depends on who you ask) time zones in the world, and HUNDREDS of "long names" for them in that database I was using.
I actually think the Weather.com API approach might be the best.
