Question

I’m using the datetimepicker here. How can I set the now button so that it sets time UTC now instead of the current now per browser?

Answer 1

This worked for setting the time but not so much for setting the actual date on the calendar.

$.datepicker._gotoToday = function (id) {
    var inst = this._getInst($(id)[0]),
    $dp = inst.dpDiv;
    this._base_gotoToday(id);
    var tp_inst = this._get(inst, 'timepicker');
    var now = new Date();
    var now_utc = new Date(now.getUTCFullYear(), now.getUTCMonth(), now.getUTCDate(), now.getUTCHours(), now.getUTCMinutes(), now.getUTCSeconds());
    this._setTime(inst, now_utc);
    $('.ui-datepicker-today', $dp).click();
};
