@OP: Yes, really, it's *that* easy. :-) The result is a number, in milliseconds. You have to be careful with historical dates, though, Javascript's Date object doesn't handle the Gregorian change in 1582. For contemporary dates, though, it's fine.

No link-only answers, please. SO should stand on its own; external links can disappear, get renamed, etc.

but something like this: `<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--function days_between(date1, date2) { // The number of milliseconds in one day var ONE_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 // Convert both dates to milliseconds var date1_ms = date1.getTime() var date2_ms = date2.getTime() // Calculate the difference in milliseconds var difference_ms = Math.abs(date1_ms - date2_ms) // Convert back to days and return return Math.round(difference_ms/ONE_DAY)}//--></script>`
