It will, if you use a field on the left side of the expression and whatever you want at the right side.
BTW there is no such time 24:59:59 :-)

I strongly recommend you to use Naomi's suggestion:
select * from myTable where DateField >=@Today and DateField < @Tomorrow --- Se here is only less that, not less than or equal
Because SQL Server keeps milliseconds also you may filter some records if you use this:
select * 
      from myTable
where DateField >=@Today and DateField <= @TodayAtMidNight
You may have this records:
01/01/2010 23:59:59.937 and that record will be filtered.
