All my Web pages below are BASE http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/
You request detail of other DST rules; see my uksumtim.htm for UK/EU. Date info in miscdate.htm & other pages via index.htm
Function LeapYear - use year % 4 etc.; programs/leapyear.pas
See jswkcalc.htm for Date <-> MJD, day of week, etc.; different to yours. Also does Easter. I'd like to select day-of-month by clicking position in textarea, and/or to make that area HTML.
See programs/dateprox.pas for my date routines, can be translated to JS, and programs/mjd_date tests them; go via programs/00index.htm.
Ideally, your DST statement should consider the time; US does not change until 0200h local.
All code dealing with dates needs the word Gregorian somewhere nearby.
Re adjusting clock - I read that one version of Windows just put the clock back in the right day from 3am to 2am - an hour later, it was again 3am, and it put the clock back ...
I'd *much* prefer an E-address for feedback rather than a WWW page; I'm a dial-up user with off-line main preparation. And a downloadable FAQ like Prof. Timo Salmi's Pascal one is better than a Web one.
This box is too small; open to 500*300 pixels!
HTH, regards.
