Clickable time zone map on a web page

[Ted Weatherly]

Is it possible to create a clickable time zone map on a web page? Is
it as simple as finding an image of world time zones and declaring a
bunch image map coordinates? Has someone already done this?

Do you really want to try?

It also has the potential to be rather inaccessible.

You might be interested in the alternative approach of selecting the
appropriate country, then the town/city/etc.

Or one could do something crazy like allowing users to use either option.
After all, many Usonians wouldn't be able to find their country on the map.

cool site.. it occurs to me I'd like to put up a pg on my site -- more
as an experiment than anything else -- that displays time all four in
different time zones (& others?) at the same time.. I like the map that
shows where it's dark and where the sun is shining..

If a person is learned enough to identify himself a Usonian (Usonian is
actually a style of architecture, not a demonym of a country), he will
recognize where his nation is on the map.

Actually, the word does also mean an American (of the U.S.A.). I did not
invent the word. It is used to get strange looks.

Indeed, guess who did?

"'Usonian' is an adaptation from Esperanto, apparently coined by Zamenhof"

I don't know if someone has already done this or not. It's a shame that
there's no service that lets us search for web pages, isn't it? If there
were, we could simply type in a few keywords, press a "search" button,
and find out. Wouldn't that be great? It could search googols of pages
and keep a catalogue. If only someone had thought to start such a service...
