Example
The following example returns the difference between the local daylight saving time for San
Francisco and universal time. Daylight saving time is factored into the returned result only if
the date defined in the Date object occurs during daylight saving time. The output in this

minutes). This example is Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, GMT-0700). The result varies
depending on location and time of year.
