I have used the code shown in the following post from developer force and it works perfectly. Note though that if you are using it on a VF page, you must have showSidebar=true and showHeader=true for it to work

I have not used this one but it seems to be similar in function

EDIT

Adding the code for the first link at request of @TestNS

1) Go to Setup -> App Setup -> Customize -> User Interface. Here make sure the 'Show Custom Sidebar Components on All Pages' is checked.

2) Go to Setup -> App Setup -> Home Page Layouts. Make sure all your Home Page Layouts have the Messages & Alerts component checked.

3) Go to Setup -> App Setup -> Home Page Components. Here, click edit for Messages & Alerts. In the textarea, copy and paste the javascript code below and save (it can just go below your normal Messages & Alerts, won't show up on the actual page).

<script src="/js/dojo/0.4.1/dojo.js"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/11.1/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var arYears = getYears();
function swapYears(){
    // Contact Birth day
    if(document.getElementById('calYearPicker') != null) {
        var select = document.getElementById('calYearPicker');
        var curValue = select.value; 
        var parentx = select.parentNode;
        parentx.removeChild(select);
        select = document.createElement('select');
        select.size = 1;
        select.id = 'calYearPicker';
        select.name = 'calYearPicker';
        parentx.appendChild(select);
    }
    if(select != null) {
        for(x=0;x<100;x++) {

function getYears() {

    sforce.connection.sessionId=sforce.sessionId;
    var out = [];
