I have created a data form in which the user will enter in dates, and I wanted to know if there was a simple script that would allow me to take two date fields in the form and figure the days inbetween/ days left of the two dates. So I want something like a count down that will calculate the days left between the two enterd dates

i think you cam try something like:
Code:var myDate1=new Date(); //todays date var myDate2=newDate(2008,6,6); //older date, you could also use "setFullYear" var temp=myDate1.getTime() - myDate2.getTime(); var day=24*60*60*1000; //convert milliseconds to days var difference = temp/day;

Hi I hope this code may help you if you are trying get the weekday between two user defined dates. Please ensure that the date format is dd-mon-yyyy.

That code could be shortened considerably, in particular the month code could be one line via an array. Also, the script language attribute is deprecated, use the type attribute instead.Comment
