Better Timezone

A jQuery plugin for making sane timezone selects. - Fork with latest version

This jQuery plugin creates a simple, configurable dropdown and autocomplete element. For some reason, this hasn't really been solved yet. Timezones are pretty weird and vary year to year, so we've compiled and cross-checked several different data sources:

• IANA timezone database
• Microsoft timezone database
• Unicode Common Locale Data Repository

Dependencies

• jQuery
• Select2
