In JScript(.NET)/ASP (untested):

<%@ LANGUAGE = JScript %>
...
<%
var d = new Date();
d.setHours(d.getHours() - 7);
%>
<%= d.toString() %>

Thanks, but do I place the code in the header?

In JScript(.NET)/ASP (untested):
[1] <%@ LANGUAGE = JScript %>
...
[2] <%
var d = new Date();
d.setHours(d.getHours() - 7);
%>
[3] <%= d.toString() %>

No. (HTTP) headers are not parsed by ASP(.NET).
(If you mean the (X)HTML `head' element by `header': it depends.)

[1] AFAIK must be placed before any other server-side script code.
See MSDN Library for details.

[2] can be placed anywhere after [1] and before [3], for easy
maintenance probably right before [3] as written here.

[3] should be placed where the date string is to be included.

But what is servertime - UTC or local?

If it is local, what is servertime minus 7 hours when the true time is
2006-03-26 04:00 UTC (assuming a Danish server)? 21:00 or 20:00 ?

Javascript on a Web page - the prime topic of this group - has no access
to servertime; but, if the local computer is correctly set, it does have
access to UTC, from which the local time at any location for which the
Summer Time rules are known can be calculated.

Read the FAQ; see below.

I thought this would always show my time..........
