You don’t need jQuery to check what date it is. You can use plain Javascript for that.
var today = new Date();
if(today.getDate() === 17) {
$('.on-17').addClass('active');
}
A more dynamic implementation that always adds class active
to the current day’s div:
var today = new Date();
var dayOfMonth = today.getDate();
$('on-' + dayOfMonth).addClass('active');
If you have different numbered classes for each day (say you want every day to have a different color):
var today = new Date();
var dayOfMonth = today.getDate();
$('on-' + dayOfMonth).addClass('active-' + dayOfMonth); //Will add the class active-17 on the 17th day of each month, for example

solved How do I add class using jquery/javascript to different elements depending on what day is it?
