Challenge Overview
In this challenge, we want to change the suffix label we used for after the date time in direct. The date time is in the format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm ET (GMT -400) or the similar. We want to unify the display to use EDT / EST.
Requirements details
- EDT is the Eastern Daylight Time while EST is Easten Standard Time. EDT is used in the summer while EST is used during the winter.
- You should have code to determine whether current date is in EDT or EST, then choose one between EDT / EST to display.
- All the pages which use the date time should be updated to use the label required above. An example like 08/30/2014 09:05 EDT or 08/30/2014 09:05 EST
- Please note that some date time are rendered directly with JSP while some are populated by javascript, these placed should all be handled and updated.
