Dark Mode After 1700 hours


I'm trying to change the background and one (1) heading to different colors after a certain time on my webpage (1700 hours). However, it doesn't trigger. What am I doing wrong here?

var today = new Date();
var time = today.getHours() + ":" + today.getMinutes() + ":" + today.getSeconds();
var dayLight = 0900;
var lightMode = 1700;


if (time >= dayLight && time <= lightMode) {
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "white";
    document.querySelector("h1.example").style.color = "black";
    console.log(time + " " + "=" + " " + "Light Mode!");
} else {
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "black";
    document.querySelector("h1.example").style.color = "white";
    console.log(time + " " + "=" + " " + "Dark Mode!");
}

Solution

  • //I just set an interval for every second to check the time again
    var s=setInterval(()=>{
      var today = new Date();
      var time = today.getHours() + ":" + today.getMinutes() + ":" + today.getSeconds();
      var dayLight = 0900;
      var lightMode = 1700;
    
    
      if (time >= dayLight && time <= lightMode) {
          document.body.style.backgroundColor = "white";
          document.querySelector("h1.example").style.color = "black";
          //console.log(time + " " + "=" + " " + "Light Mode!");
      } else {
          document.body.style.backgroundColor = "black";
          document.querySelector("h1.example").style.color = "white";
          //console.log(time + " " + "=" + " " + "Dark Mode!");
      }
    },1000)
