See more:

In my web application , I filled a dropdownlist with Whole Timezones.
In page load of this page I am used following code to get whole timezone, TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()

It is filling correctly in a dropdownlist.
Now I want to set default value of this dropdown based when user open this page .
So need javascript method to implement this thing.

Am used some javascript methods but not getting proper result.

var locdate = new Date();

here locdate date has full value. ':Mon Mar 31 2014 15:27:23 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)'

But in some timezone like 'E. Africa Standard Time', 'E. Europe Standard Time' not standard time value.
and also this in IE browser only getting datetime .

I tried these section.
But getting only timezoneoffset value like +5.30 .But this issue is more than one timezone have this same offset . So we can not get exact timezone by this code.
I got countryCode, countryname ,cityName,region name, zip ,latitude,longitude,offset value via another API. Have any way to get timezone (India Standard Time etc ) by these any values.
