Calculate Date Difference

simple but urgent question

[kadnan]

Hi

sorry for asking dump question

I want to calculate different between two months,i have followinn input

From Month: e.g: 01
From YEAR:2004

to Month: e.g: 09
toYear:2005

is there any builtin javascript function to create date without asking DAY?

Thanks

Diff = (toYear*12 + toMonth*1) - (FromYear*12 + FromMonth*1);

Thanks

Specify the radix in the 2nd arg:

alert( parseInt( "08", 10 ) )

[Still can't work out why it's zero though just now]

[kadnan]

i rather used eval("08"),working fine now

The leading zero switches the default radix to 8 instead of 10. The valid base-8 digits are 0-7, so the "08" has no valid digits other than the zero. Result is zero.
