Great. I presume your '#myElementId' is the same as my '#datepicker'?<br />
<br />
How does this:<br />
.datepicker({ minDate: '-75Y'}); <br />
<br />
&nbsp;relate to the other coded needed to instantiate my control? <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; $(function () {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $(&quot;#datepicker&quot;).datepicke<wbr />r({<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; changeMonth: true,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; changeYear: true<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; });
</div>

I need the value of the year to go back in time no more than 75 years, I assume I'd need to explicitly set the minDate to this year - 75.<br />
<br />
Is that right? Where do I set that value?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
