[Javascript] Time & day-based redirects?

[BEKIM BACAJ]

I'll have to add that the user local time should not be that much of a 
problem.
I've written this {Mon Mar 24 21:26:24 UTC+0100 2003
} with:
var date=new Date()
document.write(date)

The point is "UTC+0100", it shows the time offset, so one can calculate it. 
Win media and Real Player etc use UTC with script routine for calculation 
and delivery of content at exact time of the day to their clients for almost 
a decade.
Regards!
