jQuery UI: Datepicker set year range dropdown to 100 years

Question

Using the Datepicker the year drop down by default shows only 10 years. The user has to click the last year in order to get more years added.

How can we set the init

Answer 1

I did this:

var dateToday = new Date();
var yrRange = dateToday.getFullYear() + ":" + (dateToday.getFullYear() + 50);
and then
yearRange : yrRange

where 50 is the range from current year.
