title: bootstrap-datepicker: How to use specific time zone?
body: <p>I created a small program to select the date using <a href="https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker" rel="noreferrer">bootstrap-datepicker</a> and write it to MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>The catch is that this date must be local to <code>Europe/Berlin</code> regardless where the user is at the moment.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(....).datepicker({ startDate: 'today' });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is: how do I set <code>startDate</code> to be local to specific timezone <del>without using server side code (PHP) or any other libraries</del>?</p>
  
  <p>I tried using <code>moment</code> + <code>moment-timezone</code> but it's also showing the local browser date.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var todaysDate = moment().tz('Europe/Berlin').format();
  $(...).datepicker({ startDate: todaysDate });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
