Calculating date difference in JavaScript is very easy as in .Net, Java or PHP, but requires a bit different approach.
For this post i wrote simple example which can calculate difference between two dates in: days and months.
you can see running example from Here
Code is as below :

function calldiff()
{
var txtdate1 = document.getElementById(‘fromdt’).value;
var txtdate2 = document.getElementById(‘todt’).value;
// split by in Indian date format. it is ddmmyyyy
var date1=new Date(txtdate1.split(‘/’)[2],txtdate1.split(‘/’)[1]-1,txtdate1.split(‘/’)[0]);
var date2=new Date(txtdate2.split(‘/’)[2],txtdate2.split(‘/’)[1]-1,txtdate2.split(‘/’)[0]);
// you can take date1 or date2 as today to check difference from today
//alert(“date :” +date1);
//alert(“date :” +date2);
var timediffsec = date1.getTime() – date2.getTime();
alert(“diff :” +timediffsec);
var timediffday = parseInt(timediffsec/(24*3600*1000));
alert(“diff in days :” +timediffday);
var timediffmonth = parseInt(timediffsec/(24*3600*1000*30));
alert(“diff in months :” +timediffmonth);
}
