jQuery ui datepicker: Remove yellow highlight on (unhighlight) today's

Question

How do you remove the yellow highlight on datepicker's today's date? I was able to do it when my datepicker is called via an input field (got it from here: Jquery datepicker: highlight 'today' when clicked?), but cannot when it is called via div (inline = true)

My reason for this is I am using custom timezone and if I have a different today's date based on the timezone it still highlights the today's date of my local computer.

Here is the code that worked using an input field:

HTML:

<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" /></p>

Javascript:

$(function() {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker({
        beforeShow: function (input, inst) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                inst.dpDiv.find('a.ui-state-highlight').removeClass('ui-state-highlight');
            }, 100);
        }
    });
});
