How to get client side timezone id in JavaScript?

Question

I need to get client side timezone using JavaScript. I am using below code.

new Date().toString().split('(')[1].slice(0, -1)

But it returns timezone daylightname, and I need id.

For example, client side timezone as set as (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) and I need to get output as Eastern Standard Time. But I am getting Eastern Daylight Time as output.

Can I do this without any additional plugin requirements?

Those are not exactly matches with my requirement. Most of comments code including new date() method which will return daylight name not standard name of timezone — Rahini Krishna, Jul 23 '17 at 08:30

Try the following

var objdatetime = new Date();
var timezone = objdatetime.toTimeString();
var tzstr = timezone.split("(");
var timezoneid = tzstr[1].toString().replace(")","");
alert(timezoneid);

No, this is also returning daylightname only not standard name – Rahini Krishna Jul 23 '17 at 08:26

How about this?

new Date().toString().split('(')[1].slice(0, -1).replace('Daylight', 'Standard')
