As long as it's a valid date/time object, ColdFusion can give you the
difference.
<cfset dteThen = "2005-12-01 12:30:00"/>
<cfoutput>
The number of seconds since then is #DateDiff('s',now(),dteThen)#
</cfoutput>

I know DateDiff would work in many cases but here the user is inputting
the time. How do you get datediff to recognize the user inputted time?
