Answer 1

You can Try This:-

function diff_hours(dt2, dt1) 
 {

  var diff =(dt2.getTime() - dt1.getTime()) / 1000;
  diff /= (60 * 60);         // For Hours
  //diff /= (60);          For Minutes
  return Math.abs(Math.round(diff));

 }

dt1 = new Date(2014,10,2);
dt2 = new Date(2014,10,3);
console.log(diff_hours(dt1, dt2));            // you will get '24' hours


dt1 = new Date("October 13, 2014 08:11:00");
dt2 = new Date("October 13, 2014 11:13:00");
console.log(diff_hours(dt1, dt2));           // you will get '3' hours
