Hallo all,

I want to make a list with all the bithdays of the employees. Is it possible that if I give the current date and the birthday date that javascript calculates the age?

Greetings,

Hi Timo, You can easily do this.

Try this code:

/* Example of date arithmetic. */
/* Create a Date object with a definite date. */
var d1 = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", "4/11/76");
/* Create a date object containing the current date. */
var d2 = new Date();
/* Number of seconds difference. */
var diff = (d2.valueOf() - d1.valueOf()) / 1000;
/* Print some interesting stuff to the console. */
console.println("It has been " + diff + " seconds since 4/11/1976");
console.println("It has been " + diff / 60 + " minutes since 4/11/1976");
console.println("It has been " + (diff / 60) / 60 + " hours since 4/11/1976");
console.println("It has been " + ((diff / 60) / 60) / 24 + " days since 4/11/1976");
console.println("It has been " + (((diff / 60) / 60) / 24) / 365 + " years since 4/11/1976");

The output of this script would look something like:
It has been 718329600 seconds since 4/11/1976
It has been 11972160 minutes since 4/11/1976
It has been 199536 hours since 4/11/1976
It has been 8314 days since 4/11/1976
It has been 22.7780821917808 years since 4/11/1976

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
