I will convert those wiki to array, and turn it to function. –  Rizky Ramadhan Apr 10 '12 at 11:38 Or maybe better if someone did this.

Using it, your function would look something like this: function toTimeZone(time, zone) { var format = 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss ZZ'; return moment(time, format).tz(zone).format(format); } shareimprove this answer edited May 6 '14 at 19:44 Ilmari Karonen 27.5k53778 answered Sep 4 '13 at 11:26 Brian Di Palma 1,234810
