If you are referring to Opera, versions before 10.52, to say that the
problem was with new Date(Y, M, D) is over-simplification. The
problem was, in fact, with the calculation of the offset from GMT for
some localities, for the state of which I can think of no polite
description.

PointedEars,

Thanks for your help, I was able to take what you provided as a
starting point and have successfully gotten my code to do what I
want. I wouldn't have been able to do that without your helpful
assistance.

Thank you.
