Age calculation

[matfish]

Hi,

 

Iv got a popup calendar which your able to select a date in the format of dd-mm-yyyy, I then want to display that persons age after selecting the date.

 

Any ideas?

The thought that a lot of people have all ready created a function to do just that came to my mind and yup that function can be found with google.

Hi, Thanks for the link.

 

If I was confident enough with javascript I would have figured it out by now. Its not exactly overcoming the problem that when Iv selected the date, I need to calculate the age from a dd-mm-yyyy format (if I could explosed the date like I would in php I wouldnt have an issue).

 

Any ideas? Take a date from dd-mm-yyyy in an input box and explode it to format: displayage(yyyy, mm dd, "years", 0, "rounddown")

 

?

Javascript split maybe  if the input value is a string that is

function divide_string()
{
var dateInString="12-01-2001";
var date_array=dateInString.split("-");
alert("day="+date_array[0]+" month="+date_array[1]+" year="+date_array[2]);
}

Hi, Many thanks!

 

With the above, Im now able to pass the variables of dd-mm-yyyy through another script to calc the age.

 

Thanks
