The attached image is the result of your code sample running in a Chrome browser window.

It calculates the number of days between 01/03/2015 and 04/09/2015 as 215 when its only 187.

For my purposes, that’s a little too much margin of error.

Hi,

This is due to the way JavaScript Date object defines month, it is already discussed. In JavaScript months counting starts from 0 not 1, so it is from 0 to 11 not 1 to 12.

Hmm. OK, I guess that makes sense. But it still doesn’t explain why your demo is showing the wrong number of days.

Demo is not wrong, There are 215 (or so) days until October 4 (or month 9 in JS). Plugin uses JavaScript functions to get difference between two dates, it is not doing any calculations on it’s own.

And, date title should be October 3 (days in JS object Date are from 1 to 31). Months start from 0, days from 1, what logic JavaScript creators used here we will never know :).
