Question

I have to compare todays date with calender date(picking date using date picker ajax).
If date difference is more than 7 days then generate alert.

        var mydate = new Date();//Todays date
        var theyear = mydate.getFullYear();
        var themonth = mydate.getMonth() + 1;
        var thetoday = mydate.getDate();

        txtDate.value='04-Jul-2012';//date picker date in this format

Answer 1

var datePicked = '26-Jun-2012';
var datems = Date.parse(datePicked.replace(/-/g, " "));
var dateNow = new Date();
dateNow.setHours(0,0,0,0);
var msDiff = Math.abs(Number(dateNow) - datems);
// 7 Days = 604 800 000 ms
if(msDiff > 604800000) alert("Time difference greater 7 days");
