Here's what I use. If you just subtract the dates, it won't work across the Daylight Savings Time Boundary (eg April 1 to April 30 or Oct 1 to Oct 31). This drops all the hours to make sure you get a day and eliminates any DST problem by using UTC.

var nDays = (    Date.UTC(EndDate.getFullYear(), EndDate.getMonth(), EndDate.getDate()) -
                 Date.UTC(StartDate.getFullYear(), StartDate.getMonth(), StartDate.getDate())) / 86400000;
