I would use Moment js for that.

var date1 = "2013-07-30 21:20:45";
var date2 = "2013-07-30 21:21:45";
var duration = moment.duration(moment(date2).diff(moment(date1)));
if (duration < 10) {
  console.log('status_on');
} else {
  console.log('status_off')
}

I have created a fiddle. have a look at it.

When you do:

alert(status(lastseen));

It should return seconds. It will never return "status_on" or "status_off", because a function stops executing after a return. Remove the 'return second' to return the status Also use getTime()

seconds=(d1.getTime()-d2.getTime())/1000;
