Subtract a lot of seconds from any date

**landed** · 26 Mar 2012 12:32 PM

From the Ext help I have thus far

Code:

var dt1 = Ext.Date.add(new Date(1989,11,17,3,24,0);, Ext.Date.DATE, -5);

but a guess is Ext.Date.DATE in the help is given Ext.Date.Day ,-5 to subtract 5 days. How can I use this method to convert strings ?

thanks

Like this?

Code:

var seconds = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * -1; //5 days worth of seconds

var date = Ext.Date.add(new Date(1989,11,17,3,24,0), Ext.Date.SECOND, seconds);

Sorry I meant how can I convert a lot of seconds from this date. I have a chunk of seconds , here it tells me how to subtract 5 days. That doesn't help with my problem. How can I subtract seconds and be sure not to have a problem with leap years etc..
