javascript check time between two times code example

Example: javascript time between two times

You can just subtract the hours right away doing it this way

var valuestart = $("select[name='timestart']").val();
var valuestop = $("select[name='timestop']").val();

//create date format          
var timeStart = new Date("01/01/2007 " + valuestart).getHours();
var timeEnd = new Date("01/01/2007 " + valuestop).getHours();

var hourDiff = timeEnd - timeStart;             
Here's the working fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/VnwF7/4/

UPDATE - to calculate if we are including the next day. Just add the following if block

 if (hourDiff < 0) {
    hourDiff = 24 + hourDiff;
 }
