Thought about the time offset feature

[Sharg]

I preffered the previous timeoffset feature that would let you specify +1 +2..... instead of preset local zones.
Because it will be a pain to translate for International users.

Sharg, the values are the same values. What text you put in between matters not.

It can be:

<select name="timezoneoffset">
<option value="-12">(GMT -12:00 hours) Eniwetok, Kwajalein</option>
<option value="-11">(GMT -11:00 hours) Midway Island, Samoa</option>
<option value="-10">(GMT -10:00 hours) Hawaii</option>

etc...


Or it can be:

<select name="timezoneoffset">
<option value="-12">GMT -12:00</option>
<option value="-11">GMT -11:00</option>
<option value="-10">GMT -10:00</option>

etc...


Those are all identical. Only thing that matters is the value="" part. AND, a select list is BETTER than a text field, because a user can put in a text field the wrong value (for example, write GMT when he should have put 0).
