title: JQuery datepicker allow user to set the year
body: <p>I am using the datepicker jquery plugin with the settings below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#date").datepicker({
      showButtonPanel: true,
      changeMonth: true,
      changeYear: true,
      showOtherMonths: true,
      selectOtherMonths: true 
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now what i want to do is allowing the user to set the year. I mean by manual changing the input of the selection drop down.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any setting to do that ?</p>
  
  <p>The reason I would like to do that is because I don't know, if the user is selecting a date from the year 1920 or 2220 or what ever year. So I don't have a good default date value. And the dropdown interface isn't that userfriendly if you have to click 20 times to get from the year 2000 to the year 1600. </p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  What I want to do is the "Show unlimited years:" from keith-wood.name/datepick.html#monthyear. Is there anything similar with the standard jquery datepicker. I can't find the setting yearRange: 'any' in the jquery datepicker documentation.</p>
