    Try this one .

    function calculateAge(event) {
      event.preventDefault();

      const birthdateInput = document.getElementById('birthdate');
      const resultElement = document.getElementById('result');


      const birthDate = new Date(birthdateInput.value);
      const currentDate = new Date();

      let years = currentDate.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();
      let months = currentDate.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();
      let days = currentDate.getDate() - birthDate.getDate();

      // Adjust negative months or days
      if (days < 0) {
        months--;
        days += new Date(currentDate.getFullYear(), currentDate.getMonth(), 0).getDate();
      }

      if (months < 0) {
        years--;
        months += 12;
      }

//and display the result.
