How to increase the year of widget DateField

I have a form follow as:

class UserProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    birthday = forms.DateField(widget=forms.DateInput(attrs={"class": "datepicker input-medium"}, format=('%m/%d/%Y')),
        error_messages={'required': 'Birthday is required.'})

This date picker only displays the year from 1900 to 2012. So, user can not choose a date in 2013 or the future year. Please see the picture below.

Thanks

You could change the widget to "SelectDateWidget" and specify the date range (untested here):

from django.forms.extras.widgets import SelectDateWidget
class UserProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    birthday = forms.DateField(widget=forms.SelectDateWidget(years=range(1900, 2100),
            error_messages={'required': 'Birthday is required.'})

This seems like a jQueryUI issue. Have you checked their docs?

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

Should give you a good datepicker.
