The function below calculates the age based of the given parameters.

var now = new Date();
var past = new Date(select_year + "-" + select_month + "-" + select_day); 
var nowYear = now.getFullYear();
var pastYear = past.getFullYear();
var age = nowYear - pastYear;

It works perfectly in Chrome.

But when I switch over to Safari, the following line says Invalid Date:

var past = new Date(select_year + "-" + select_month + "-" + select_day);

I'm assuming it is failing to reconstruct the date.

Is there a way to fix this?

For Internet Explorer and Safari, you need to change the format up a bit. I believe that this will work for you:

var d = new Date(2011, 01, 07);  
var d = new Date(2011, 01, 07, 11, 05, 00); 
var d = new Date("02/07/2011");  
var d = new Date("02/07/2011 11:05:00");  
var d = new Date(1297076700000); 
var d = new Date("Mon Feb 07 2011 11:05:00 GMT");
