Ignore Daylight Savings in Date Calculations?

I have some date calculations that add a time span to a date. The problem
is, when I add a time span that is a whole number of days to a date, the
result can be +/- 1 hour due to daylight savings. Is there anyway to disable
this?

Yes. Do your calculations using UTC or GMT.

Move to China - or Hawaii.

Read the FAQ; see below.

Use the UTC methods.

Use Math.round().
