How to change the range of dates which are shown in datepicker jQuery UI?

Question

For example, this is an example of how one would show the year and month menus:

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

But this only shows 21 dates, 10 up and 10 down (for example, 2002 - 2022). But that isn't enough for me, as I want people's birth dates. So, can I increase that range to, for example, (1952 - 2008), as I don't want people giving dates past the current year?

Answer 1

If you take a look at the jquery api documentation , it says that you can initialize jquery datepicker using the following parameter.

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ yearRange: "2002:2012" });

I hope that helps.
