Bootstrap datepicker disabling past dates without current date

Question

I wanted to disable all past date before current date, not with current date. I am trying by bootstrap datepicker library "bootstrap-datepicker" and using following code:

$('#date').datepicker({ 
    startDate: new Date() 
});

It works fine. But it is disabling date till today.

As example if today is 04-20-2013 and i disable past dates by setting startDate: new Date(). but I am able to select date from 04-21-2013.

UPDATED: i can solve it as following for UTC zone:

var d = new Date();
options["startDate"] = new Date(d.setDate(d.getDate() - 1));

or startDate: "+0d"

But these methods don't work when UTC is a day ahead. For my client in California that means at 5:00 pm my client can no longer select his local current date as a valid date. In order to fix this I am temporarily using startDate: "-1d", but of course before 5 that means yesterday is visible.

Has anyone come up with a better method for now as I do not want to tell users to put in a UTC date?

Thanks in advance.

var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate()-1);

$('#date').datepicker({ 
    startDate: date
});
