Title
Body
I want to compare the user's birthday against today's date and get the number of days in between. The birthday they enter will be in the form of 12/02/1987 in an input box of type text In my JS file I have code that looks like this: function validateDOB(element) { var valid = false; var today = new Date(); var dd = today.getDate(); var mm = today.getMonth() + 1; //do that January is NOT represented by 0! var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); if (dd < 10) { dd = '0' + dd } if (mm < 10) { mm = '0' + mm } var today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy; alert(today); if (element.value != today) { var days = 0; var difference = 0; Christmas = new Date("December 25, 2011"); today = new Date(); difference = today - Christmas days = Math.round(difference / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)-1); alert(days); valid = true; } Instead of using "Christmas" I want to compare element.value ... how do I do this? When I put difference = today - element.value it won't show me the difference. The alert box comes up as NaN .
