How can I calculate time difference in JScript between two times in milliseconds or seconds?
For example, between 2010-04-23 15:03 and 2010-05-30 00:41

A:
var d1 = new Date(2010,3,23,15,3);
var d2 = new Date(2010,4,30,0,41);
var delta = Math.abs( d1 - d2 );
The answer will be in milliseconds.

That should be `new Date(2010,3,23,15,3)`. The month needs to be `- 1` (Jan = 0, Feb = 1, etc.) and you should avoid a leading zero unless you are using octal based numbers. Dito for the second `Date`.

@RoToRa: Yeah, thanks. I just regexed the hyphens, spaces and colons out of his dates without looking at the values themselves. Edited to reflect this.

No need for the `valueOf` s.

A:
First, you should parse the strings to obtain date objects, I generally use a function like the following, to extract the date parts, and use the Date constructor:
function parseDate(input) {
var parts = input.match(/(\d+)/g);
// new Date(year, month [, date [, hours[, minutes[, seconds[, ms]]]]])
return new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2], // months are 0-based
parts[3], parts[4]);
}
var diff = parseDate("2010-05-30 00:41") - parseDate("2010-04-23 15:03");
// 3145080000 milliseconds
