         document.write(""+date1);

         date2 = new Date( "Jan 1, 2018 08:15:10" );
         document.write("<br>"+date2);

         var res = Math.abs(date1 - date2) / 1000;
         
         // get total days between two dates
         var days = Math.floor(res / 86400);
         document.write("<br>Difference (Days): "+days);                        
         
         // get hours        
         var hours = Math.floor(res / 3600) % 24;        
         document.write("<br>Difference (Hours): "+hours);  
         
         // get minutes
         var minutes = Math.floor(res / 60) % 60;
         document.write("<br>Difference (Minutes): "+minutes);  
     
         // get seconds
         var seconds = res % 60;
         document.write("<br>Difference (Seconds): "+seconds);  
      </script>
   </body>
