Until 9:30AM previous day is highlighted instead of current day

[vieira]

I'm not sure if this is intended, but the previous day is highlighted instead of the current day until about 9:30AM (i.e., at 8:45AM of October 16, October 15 is highlighted).

The problem seems to be in the "weeks" and the "default" cases in the switch statement of markNow:

var cd = Date.parse(new Date());
// new Date(cd) is Thu Oct 16 2014 09:20:20 GMT+0100 (WEST) which is the current day
 cd = (Math.floor(cd / 36400000) * 36400000);
// new Date(cd) is Wed Oct 15 2014 23:26:40 GMT+0100 (WEST) which is the previous day

I'm also a bit confused about the significance of 36400000 (which seems to be 10h06m40s?).

@vieira You're right, that code looks kind of convoluted. I'll try to take a look this weekend at this bug and other ones related to time display, especially those related to Daylight Savings Time, since it starts very soon...

In the meantime, can you please create a simple jsFiddle that shows the problem so I can test my fix against that? Also please let me know what time zone you are in, as well as whether or not changing your system's time zone to a different one makes the problem disappear. Thanks for reporting it!

Hello @usmonster
Thanks for your quick reply. I have created a jsFiddle showing the problem as requested. The problem can be reproduced by changing your clock to 07:30AM, October 16 (cannot be reproduced everyday, e.g. Thursdays until 9:30AM seem to trigger the problem with my timezone). The timezone is WEST (Lisbon/London).

Changing the timezone changes the window in which the problem occurs. For some timezones the problem might not occur at all.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the jsFiddle, @vieira. The "Today" calculation is definitely incorrect there--I'll put together a fix within the next day or so, unless you wanted to do the honors and make a pull request?

I was still getting this issue, thought I'd post what fixed it for me in case anyone else is looking (altered in the "markNow" function mentioned above, I changed it in the default switch since that is where it's applicable to me):
var cd = new Date();
cd.setHours(0,0,0,0);
$(element).find(':findday("' + Date.parse(cd) + '")').removeClass('wd').addClass('today');
break;
