jQuery UI Datepicker - how to select year

Question

Is there any way to allow the user to select the year on the datepicker? In its default state, one has to leaf through the months to get to a different year.

Answer 1

<script>
    $(function() {
        $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
            changeYear: true
        });
    });
</script>
