The APEX JET Charts handle time zones differently in Safari versus other browsers.

John DavidJun 12 2017 — edited Aug 23 2017

Hello,

I'm using a line JET Chart to display values over time. The Safari browser modifies my selected time while the other browsers do not. For me, 4 hours are subtracted. Safari modifies the time, I assume, believing the date/time is reported in GMT and is converting it to EST. However, this is only done in the JET Chart. If I use the same select statement and produce a report region on the same page, the times are not modified and are left as selected from the database. The time is also not modified if I just select SYSDATE from dual and put it in a text field. The attached image shows what I'm seeing. The last record in the chart is associated with a time of 5:57. The report below the chart, sorted descending, has the first value as 9:57. Another place that I see this is in Oracle's Sample Charts, Maps, Gantts & Trees. The Toggle Zoom and Scroll example is a good example of this too. https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:152: Opening it in Safari and another browsers gives me two different times. The application I'm building is a mobile app. So, Safari is must for me. And this odd JET Chart to Safari relationship is consistent on the desktop and on mobile devices. (And I have not worried about IE.) I'm using APEX 5.1.1. Thanks for any help.
