Small problem...

Guys

Skype provides the following to put on a web page to show their visitors
when their next skypecast is being broadcast - but somewhere there is an
error and the actual time shown is an hour early which tends to cause a
certain amount of confusion.

Can anyone fix it so that it shows the correct time?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
document.write("<style

border: 1px solid #333333; margin: 7px 0 3px 0;
}");document.write("</style>");//]]></script>
<div id="skypecasts-block">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
var cast;for(i in Skypecasts) {cast = Skypecasts[i];document.write("<img

</div>

Many thanks in advance!

The time seems to be stored (or maybe generated) in the "get.js" file
so take up the issue with Skype.

Check your system clock to make sure things like daylight saving are
properly allowed for.

You may be able to use Firebug or Venkman[1] to find values for
properties of the "cast" object (such as time_start_js and time_end_js)
so you can see where things are going wrong. Based on that, you might
be able to modify their values before the later document.write stuff.
However, "fixing" it locally for a specific instance will likely cause
more issues later when it's fixed by Skype (if it needs fixing).

Thanks Rob - Its definitely a skype problem and, as usual, they do not
seem to spending any effort fixing it so I was hoping that some sort of
temporary fix could be applied until they actually do fix it.
