I want to give 'value' from Selected index in select list to "timeZone" attribute in JavaScript

What I have tried:

HTML

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>Javascript</title>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="container">
        <h1 id="time">Time now is: </h1>
    </div>
    <div id="container2">
        <select name="time_zone" id="time_zones">
            <option value="country11" disabled selected hidden>Select Country</option>
            <option value="Africa/Abidjan">Ivory Coast</option>
            <option value="Africa/Accra">Ghana</option>
        </select>
    </div>

    <script src="project 1.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

JavaScript

let new_date = new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: 'Asia/Qatar', timeStyle: "medium", hourCycle: "h12" });

time_zones.options[time_zones.selectedIndex].value

time_zones.addEventListener('change', () => {
    time_zones.options[time_zones.selectedIndex].value

})

You have the code there to support it, it's just not been put in the correct order. You need to build your date and update the content within the event listener code. For example:

JavaScript

time_zones.addEventListener('change', () => {
  const timezone = time_zones.options[time_zones.selectedIndex].value;
  const date = new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", {
    timeZone: timezone,
    timeStyle: 'medium',
    hourCycle: 'h12'
  });

  // do something with the date here
});
