There is a javascript library that does this reasonably well for a subset of
timezones - https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect/wiki/Home. It has
part of the tz database inside the javascript. This is very useful if you want
to determine the timezone from the client only. As was suggested, you can also
calculate UTC offsets at various dates and send these to a server to let the
server calculate the time zone.
