How to calculate the hours between two times with jquery?
Easy way is if you get a negative value, add 24 hours to it and you should have your result.
var hours = parseInt($(".Time2").val().split(':')[0], 10) - parseInt($(".Time1").val().split(':')[0], 10);
// if negative result, add 24 hours
if(hours < 0) hours = 24 + hours;

Getting the minutes as a decimal involves a bit more as you can see in thsi fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/44NCk/2/
function calculate() {
var time1 = $(".Time1").val().split(':'), time2 = $(".Time2").val().split(':');
var hours1 = parseInt(time1[0], 10),
hours2 = parseInt(time2[0], 10),
mins1 = parseInt(time1[1], 10),
mins2 = parseInt(time2[1], 10);
var hours = hours2 - hours1, mins = 0;
// get hours
if(hours < 0) hours = 24 + hours;
// get minutes
if(mins2 >= mins1) {
mins = mins2 - mins1;
}
else {
mins = (mins2 + 60) - mins1;
hours--;
}
// convert to fraction of 60
mins = mins / 60;
hours += mins;
hours = hours.toFixed(2);
$(".Hours").val(hours);
}
function timeobject(t){
a = t.replace('AM','').replace('PM','').split(':');
h = parseInt(a[0]);
m = parseInt(a[1]);
ampm = (t.indexOf('AM') !== -1 ) ? 'AM' : 'PM';
return {hour:h,minute:m,ampm:ampm};
}
function timediff(s,e){
s = timeobject(s);
e = timeobject(e);
e.hour = (e.ampm === 'PM' && s.ampm !== 'PM' && e.hour < 12) ? e.hour + 12 : e.hour;
hourDiff = Math.abs(e.hour-s.hour);
minuteDiff = e.minute - s.minute;
if(minuteDiff < 0){
minuteDiff = Math.abs(60 + minuteDiff);
hourDiff = hourDiff - 1;
}
return hourDiff+':'+ Math.abs(minuteDiff);
}
difference = timediff('09:10 AM','12:25 PM'); // output 3:15
difference = timediff('09:05AM','10:20PM'); // output 13:15
