I want to take out the difference between the two hours, but it was 9 hours more. What is wrong?

 

 

var endTime = this.getField("Text4").valueAsString;
var startTime = this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
if (endTime=="") event.value = "";
else {
var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", "01/01/1970 " + endTime);
var s = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", "01/01/1970 " + startTime);
d.setTime(d.getTime()-s.getTime());
event.value = util.printd("HH:MM", d);
}

var diffInHours = (d.getTime()-s.getTime())/3600000;
event.value = diffInHours;

 

This will result in a decimal values, though (1.5, for example), to convert it to a time-format (1:30) would require some additional code.

This is not a good way of calculating a time difference. You should take the result of subtracting the values returned by getTime() on both objects and then convert it yourself into hours, by dividing it by 3600000.
