This jQuery plugin creates a simple, configurable dropdown and autocomplete element. For some reason, this hasn't really been solved yet. Timezones are pretty weird and vary year to year, so we've compiled and cross-checked several different data sources:
- IANA timezone database
- Microsoft timezone database
- Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
- jQuery
- Select2

- Include jQuery and Select2:

<script src="dist/better-timezone.min.js"></script>- Include your target element:
<select id="element">
<option value="" disabled selected>Please select a timezone</option>
</script>- Call the plugin:

});Boolean: make better-timezone include all IANA classification geolocations.
