Question

I want to popup a message when user click on submit button between the date of 2012-01-22, 00:00 to 2012-01-25, 23:59. I write the code as below, but it won’t works. Could someone suggest how to convert the date to integer so that I can check if today date is greater than x and less than x, then popup the message?

Thanks

function holiday_alert_msg() {      
    var today_date = new Date();

    if (today_date > 201201220000 && today_date < 201201252359) {
        alert("Today is holiday");
    }

}

$('#submit').bind('click', function() {
    holiday_alert_msg();
});

You can do this:

function holiday_alert_msg() {      
    var today_date = new Date();
    // The month parameter is 0 based
    if (today_date > new Date(2012,0,22) && today_date < new Date(2012,0,25,23,59)) {
        alert("Today is holiday");
    }

}

$('#submit').bind('click', holiday_alert_msg);
