Open Gantt Chart to Current Date

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the expected output?
Is there some way to have the Gantt Chart scroll to the current date when
first opening the web page instead of having the left side of the chart
align to the earliest task date?

Are there any specific API changes you would like to see?

Please provide any additional information below.

I haven't tested this against the hour or day formats but based on the rest of 
the code this ought to work if inserted at line 997:

if(vFormat=='minute')vTaskLeft = Math.ceil(new Date() - Date.parse(vMinDate)) / 
( 60 * 1000);
else if(vFormat=='hour')vTaskLeft = (new Date() - Date.parse(vMinDate)) / ( 60 
* 60 * 1000);
else vTaskLeft = Math.ceil(new Date() - Date.parse(vMinDate)) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 
1000);

JSGantt.findObj('rightside').scrollLeft=Math.ceil((vTaskLeft * (vDayWidth) + 
1));
