A better way to display relative dates using JavaScript. Instead of a raw date
string, this script will return strings like "2 hours ago" or "5 days".
For internationalization, include a "lang/XX.js" file just before humane.js:
<script src="lang/sv.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="humane.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
JavaScript Usage: (returns string)
humaneDate(new Date);
humaneDate('2008-01-28 20:24:17');
jQuery Plugin Usage:
<span title="2008-01-28 20:24:17">January 1, 2008 20:24:17 GMT</span>
$('span').humaneDates();
<time datetime="2008-01-28 20:24:17">January 1, 2008 20:24:17 GMT</time>
$('time').humaneDates();
