convert server datetime to millisecond

Question

    function validateDate()
            {
                var dateDifference;
                pickedDate = Date.parse(txtDate.value.replace(/-/g, " "));
                todaysDate = new Date();
                todaysDate.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
                dateDifference = Math.abs(Number(todaysDate) - pickedDate);
                //7 Days=604800000ms//
                if (dateDifference > 604800000)
                {
                      alert("Appointment can be fixed for next seven days only from current day.");                         
                    return false;
                }
                else
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }

Try this:

var time = '2012-11-22 12:53:23'; // this value is what you get from server

var a=time.split(' ');
var d=a[0].split('-');
var t=a[1].split(':');

var date = new Date(d[0],d[1],d[2],t[0],t[1],t[2]);

var millisecs = date.getTime(); // server time in milliseconds

var todayTime = (new Date()).getTime();

var diff = todayTime - millisecs; // work on this

Hope this helps.

var todayTime = (new Date()).getTime(); pushpesh this is from client side i want to get time from server side – lax Nov 22 '12 at 09:50
Oh! I misunderstood that. But that you can easily get by passing the server time when loading the page and assign that value to `todayTime`. Javascript can't directly access server properties. – web-nomad Nov 22 '12 at 10:01
