Using Time to display a message, I have a script that displays random, I want to predict it. Options

okay i think i have it figured out.
24 - (-time zone value) from gmt.
24 set it to gmt
16 sets to west coast usa PST, add 1 for PDT (Pacific daylight time)
34 sets for east Australia/Russia ...

It works. It shows Tuesday and it displays the right message.
*yawn* bed now.

Ok, here is the final version. I cleaned up all the switch statements, they were hard to read. Since you are just learning programming indent your code. It is easier to read for people like me to debug. It is also easier for you to read. Everyone wins.

This version contains all the corrections we have talked about. Don't confuse it with older versions. Also, I edited the document in UTF-16 format and normal single and double quotes work fine for me.

Okay I compared the programs side by side, looking at the changes you made, where you added some defaults, removed others. Cleaned up the character count and added some very helpful notes so I can understand which break goes for which item. Next time I create something I'll make sure to remember and keep my indents and spacings so others can read and help easier.

One more thing. Since your site will require Javascrit (some people turn it off) you should add a <noscript> section in the HTML. That will show your custom message whenever Javascript is disabled.

I don't know anything about your hosting site but you might want to think about learning a server side language like PHP (Javascript is client side).

I'll look into PHP as time becomes more available to me, might even think about taking a class in computer languages at the College.
