Question

I have two dates fields for fromdate and todate Based on that i want to populate a table with the dates along with the day And number of rows of the table will be equal to difference between fromdate and todate. Is it possible to do it on the client side? I mean using JavaScript? I don’t want to do that on server side.

Answer 1

Calculate date diff in day ,

//Set the two dates
var mydate=new Date(2012, 0, 1) //Month is 0-11 in JavaScript
today=new Date()
//Get 1 day in milliseconds
var one_day=1000*60*60*24

//Calculate difference btw the two dates, and convert to days
alert(Math.ceil((today.getTime()-millennium.getTime())/(one_day)));

now reset is you need to create table and appedn with you body element ..

Dynamic table creation

var $wrap = $('<div>').attr('id', 'tableWrap');

            var $tbl = $('<table>').attr('id', 'basicTable');

            for (var i = 0; i < 200; i++) {

                $tbl.append(
                            $('<tr>')
                                    .append($('<td>').text(i),
                                            $('<td>').text(200 - i))
                           );
            }

            $wrap.append($tbl);
            $('body').append($wrap);
