Most computer users have a clock somewhere on their screen already, 
showing the time zone(s) that they want, unless they made a conscious 
decision not to have one there.

Why do you want to use cpu resources on the client system in duplicating 
a feature that probably already exists?

If you want a "page generated at time on date" then use server side code 
to do so, but really, displaying a clock to the user, no, just don't do 
it.
