Work with a time span in Javascript

by

Sounds like you need moment.js

e.g.

moment().subtract('days', 6).calendar();

=> last Sunday at 8:23 PM

moment().startOf('hour').fromNow();

=> 26 minutes ago

Edit:

Pure JS date diff calculation:

var date1 = new Date("7/Nov/2012 20:30:00");
var date2 = new Date("20/Nov/2012 19:15:00");

var diff = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();

var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
diff -=  days * (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);

var hours = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60));
diff -= hours * (1000 * 60 * 60);

var mins = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60));
diff -= mins * (1000 * 60);

var seconds = Math.floor(diff / (1000));
diff -= seconds * (1000);

document.write(days + " days, " + hours + " hours, " + mins + " minutes, " + seconds + " seconds");
