To do this in JavaScript, you need to extract the text representation of the
date you have in the div, parse it, and set up a new JavaScript Date object
to compare against the current date/time. If your dates are formatted like
[day]/[month]/[year] (I'm in the UK), then this should work (but will need
some error checking in it to cope with blank or malformed dates):
$(document).ready(function() {
var now = new Date();
$('td.yui-dt0-col-LastActivity div').each(function() {
var divdate = new Date();
/* split the text date in the div */
var dateparts = $(this).text().split('/');
/* set the properties of the Date object
*for US format dates [month]/[day]/[year] the array indexes for months
and days need switching
*/
divdate.setDate(parseInt(dateparts[0]));
/* months are zero indexed! */
divdate.setMonth((parseInt(dateparts[1])-1));
divdate.setYear(parseInt(dateparts[2]));
/* compare dates - 14 days = (14*24*60*60*1000) milliseconds */
if (divdate.getTime() > (now.getTime() - (14*24*60*60*1000))) {
$(this).addClass('highlight');
}
});
});
