Boost Testing :

A number of our reports display the report time, usually as UTC.

While in theory this is fine, in practice I find it cumbersome to first
do the mental conversion to local time, then to the 12 hour clock time
I'm most comfortable with.

Is there a relatively easy and reliable way for Javascript, or some
other technology available in popular browsers, to display a time as
local time?

I looked on the web, but everything I found wanted me to take several
hours to learn far more about date processing than I want to know.

See below for typical code that would have to be converted, in this case
from compiler_status.html.

Thanks,
