If i try to do this it don’t work…

For example:
Current date is 2009,6,19
Test date is 2009,6,21

var date1=new Date(currentDate[2],(currentDate[1]-1),currentDate[0]);
var date2=new Date(datetest[2],(datetest[1]-1),datetest[0])
//I do -1 because: January is 0 and December 11

Current date: 2009,6,19
date: 2009,7,22
date2 = -1325638800000
date1 = -1420333200000
Dif: 1096
(= Math.abs((date1.getTime()-date2.getTime())/(one_day))

I found out that the method: date=new Date(date.split(’/’).reverse().join(’,’)) only works in firefox not ie, because firefox accepts also strings in the date object, but ie doesn’t.So your method is the best method so far.
var dates=firstDate.split(‘/’);
var day = dates[0];
var month = dates[1]-1;
var year = dates[2];
firstDate = new Date(year, month, day);
This way the date object has inside paramaters not string

Ok ,so I split the date into 3 array elements, then i put it in a variable like this var date=new Date(arr[2], arr[1], arr[0]) and thats it.Great, thanx.I did the same thing like this: date=new Date(date.split(‘/’).reverse().join(‘,’));
