About? The below shows exactly one or two hours difference overhere [CET].

<script type='text/javascript'>

// cet = gmt+1
a = new Date("2012/01/21");
b = new Date("2012-01-21");

//alert(a);
//alert(b);
alert((b-a)/(60*60*1000) + ' hour'); // 1 hour

a = new Date("2012/07/21");
b = new Date("2012-07-21");

// cet = gmt+2
//alert(a);
//alert(b);
alert((b-a)/(60*60*1000) + ' hours'); // 2 hours

</script>
