title: Javascript countdown using absolute timezone?
body: <p>I have a javascript countdown timer that works by taking a specified date and time, and comparing it to the current date and time. The issue is, the current time is relative to the users timezone, so the time remaining is different between users.</p>
  
  <p>How can I have the timer countdown till a time in a specific timezone, in my case GMT -5 hours?</p>
  
  <p>I understand i can use the below code to get the users timezone, but I am lost as how to use this.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>myDateObj.getTimezoneOffset( ) / 60</p>
