jQuery Date picker problem

Asked by jset_expert in JavaScript, PHP Scripting Language

Tags:

Hi, I have the successfully implemented the jQuery date picker into my PHP site.

I have drop-down lists for, date , month and year.

I grabbed some code of this site, http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/datePickerIntoSelects.html

The problem is the dates only go back to 2005. I am using this for birthday, so it needs to go back to 1900

I have updated my list for years like so;

            <select name="y" id="y" style="width: 60px">
            <?php
            for ( $counter = 2008; $counter >= 1900; $counter -= 1) {
                  echo "<option value='$counter'>$counter</option>";
            }
            ?>
            </select>

I have tried to edit the following code but with no success, (I changed the 2005 dates to 1900)

The year it now posts is completely out of whack!

Can anyone help me out.
