Timezone offsets negative #4

Closed dnathe4th closed 13 years ago

Aren't all the timezone offsets defined backwards? If EST is 4 hours behind UTC shouldn't it be -240 rather than 240?

In other words shouldn't the getBasicOffset() negative sign on the return be removed?

As noted in an exchange on Twitter, this is the ECMA standard for Dates and getTimezoneOffset.
