Choosing a date within the past 50 years

Question

I'm trying to pick a date past 50 year through jQuery datepicker but the select type of year shows only limited number of years. I've to repeatedly select year to go back to past years.

Here's jQuery script I'm using:

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    minDate: "-50Y",
    maxDate: "-6Y"
});

I'd created a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/5xQb3/
Please check. I want to show all year in one time not selecting them repeatedly.
Also, I would like to display the date as yyyy-mm-dd format.

Answer 1

you can use yearRange

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    yearRange: "-50:-6"
});

Answer 2

add yearRange: "c-50:c-6" to your instantiation like so

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    minDate: "-50Y",
    maxDate: "-6Y",
    yearRange: "c-50:c-6"
});
