Jquery datepicker years change

Insert changeYear: true on your DataPicker parameter.

Example :

$(function() {
        $( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true
        });
    });

Set changeYear: true, as shown in sample code below:

 $("#birth_date").datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            maxDate: '-1D'
        },
        $.datepicker.regional["fr"]
    );

There's a changeYear property on the datepicker that you can set to true.

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ changeYear: true });

http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#dropdown-month-year

This will render a select list from which you can choose the year you'd like.

changeYear property lets you enable a year dropdown. Also might be helpful to use yearRange property to control number of years they see in the dropdown, by default it's from -10 to +10 years.

$('#date').datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    yearRange: "-40:+40"
});

Details from original documentation:

The range of years displayed in the year drop-down: either relative to today's year ("-nn:+nn"), relative to the currently selected year ("c-nn:c+nn"), absolute ("nnnn:nnnn"), or combinations of these formats ("nnnn:-nn"). Note that this option only affects what appears in the drop-down, to restrict which dates may be selected use the minDate and/or maxDate options.
