Age from Date of Birth using JQuery

Question

I need to calculate if someone is over 18 from their date of birth using JQuery.

var curr = new Date();
curr.setFullYear(curr.getFullYear() - 18);

var dob =         


        

Answer 1

You could use the Date object. This will return the milliseconds between the two dates. There are 31556952000 milliseconds in a year.

function dateDiff(var now, var dob)
{
    return now.getTime() - dob.getTime();
}
