My Code -

var curDate = new Date();
var y = curDate.getFullYear();
var limitString = “1900:” + y;
$(“#dob”).datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: limitString,
maxDate: curDate
});

If you dont want a fixed date range you could also make the range relative to todays date by doing the following

today’s year of 2010
yearRange: ‘-100:+0′

Results in
date picker start year: 1910
date picker end year: 2010

today’s year of 2010
yearRange: ‘-100:-5′

Results in
date picker start year: 1910
date picker end year: 2005

Thanks for the post – just came across the exact same issues when selecting DOB. The yearRange was the trick I was missing.

Thanks for the post!
