Question

I am using jquery ajax($.ajax) method to get a json object from c# webmethod.This json object contains a datetime value, which looks something like this ‘/Date(1329324492302)/’ and I tried to parse it using the following js

new Date(parseInt(json.d.Date.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/",""), 10))

and the resulting date looks something like this

Date {Wed Feb 15 2012 16:48:12 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)}

I want to find the time elapsed from this datetime to current time in javascript but I am not sure how to do it,as the parsed date looks like a string instead of a date.

Could someone please help.

Thanks

var json = {d:{Date:"/Date(1329324492302)/"}};

var date1 = new Date(parseInt(json.d.Date.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/",""), 10));
var date2 = new Date();

var diff = (date2-date1);  // 

var hours = Math.floor( diff / 3600000);
var minutes = Math.floor( (diff % 3600000) / 60000);
var seconds = Math.floor( ((diff % 3600000) % 60000) / 1000);

console.log(" elapsed " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds );
