Select Year in Date Picker

Do you guys have any samples of Date Pickers built with this extension?

Can the picker have a drop down or something select a year? Example if someone is entering a birth date and was born in 1945 that is a lot of clicks to get to the year 1945 from 2011?

the datepicker is highly configurable.

to add a year option and set the range from 1930 to 2010 you add the following lines to your code

$(function(){
$('#datepicker_1').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
showAnim: 'show',
onClose: closeDatePicker_datepicker_1,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: '1930:2011'
});
});

Here is an example, using the code above

datepicker.php

There is a lot of documentation here...

Just what I needed

Craig,

Thanks for the tip & links.

I made a slight modification (yearRange: '1880:+01') so as not to have to change the end year every year.
