What is this "now" object?

Forms Version 10

$('#q7 input').attr('max', now.toISOString().substring(0,10));

This line of code works. I modeled it off of something I read here. Upon further research I cannot figure out why. There is a method of the date object called Now (Date.Now()). There is a (deprecated) jquery now() method ($.now()). But, I cannot find any reference to a default Date object called "now".

Help me please... I don't have much hair left.

Are you sure now is not just a var someone declared?

It must have been declared by Forms or Parsley, 'cause it ain't in my code...

$(document).ready(function() {
document.title = "Change Participant Status";
$('#q14 select').focus();

// set max exit date to today
$('#q7 input').attr('max', now.toISOString().substring(0,10));
});

But you said you got it somewhere else. I'm betting it is just a variable name that represents the current date. It has been orphaned.

It's a regular date field.

You are right now must be a variable defined in the form. It clearly returns the current date or date time in geek talk.

Looks like the line you have in your code sets the attribute of the date field for max date. Preventing someone from selecting a future date.
