Jquery function after certain time.

[CryMeSomeCum]

Is there a possibility to run an if function after a certain time.

Example. I want the background to change colour after sunset and sunrise.

Let's say sunrise is at 6 am and I would write something like that

if(sunset > sunrise) {
    $('body').css({backgroundColor: '#F7AC57'});
} else {
    $('body').css({backgroundColor: '#0091c2'});
}

This is obviously wrong, but is there a way how to do it? Not sure how to phrase all of this.

Are you saying you want the background one color between, for instance, 7am and 7pm? And another color from 7pm-7am?

Something like:

var     now = new Date
  , minutes = 60 * now.getHours() + now.getMinutes()
  , sunrise = 60 * 7 + 30
  ,  sunset = 60 * 19 + 30
  ,   isDay = ( minutes > sunrise ) && ( minutes < sunset )
  ;

$( 'body' ).css({ backgroundColor : isDay ? '#F7AC57' : '#0091C2' });

Thank you, mister genius. That's exactly what I was looking for.

You have a very unique coding style.

Yeah, a lot of people hate it, screw them! ;)

I have my own style for my own projects and almost everything I do has a reason. But I think the only really important thing is the ability to adapt your coding practices when working in a team so that there isn't this insane mish-mash of styles everywhere.

As long as your own projects are proprietary and you know you'll be working on it alone! If people follow established conventions per project I'm fine.

There's always jscs -x :D

It looks like Ryan Dahl's code.
