JavaScript/jQuery datetime difference

Question

I am trying to identify whether given date-time is future date and time or not. For e.g. My current date time is '25-04-2010 08:26 PM' and if I pass '25-04-2010 09:00 PM' to a JavaScript function, then it should return me '1' if that date-time is future date & time otherwise it should return me '0'.

Answer 1

I decided to do this using timestamp. So I just wrote below code.

var myDate = new Date("April 25, 2011 21:16:00"); // Your timezone!
var myEpoch = myDate.getTime()/1000.0;
document.write(myEpoch);

var cur_date = new Date(); // Current date
var myEpoch1 = cur_date.getTime()/1000.0;
document.write("---"+myEpoch1);

var diff=myEpoch-myEpoch1; // If diff comes minus value, then it is past date-time, otherwise it is future data-time
alert(diff);

thanks.
