Not with HTML

but a bit of javascript will

<form action="" name="formname" method="get">
<select name="year" onChange="forms['formname'].submit()">
<option value="">-- Select Year --</option>

</select>

</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
var today = new Date()
var endYear = 1946 // change to suit your oldest requirement 
var startYear= today.getFullYear()

for (startYear ;startYear>endYear; startYear--) {
	nextItem = document.forms['formname'].year.options.length;
	document.forms['formname'].year.options[nextItem] = new Option(startYear,startYear)
}
</script>

Remove the onChange event from the select box as this will submit the form

very kool!!!!!

A more accessible option would be with PHP which is another scripting language but since your a beginner just keep in mind that certain people have javascript turned off, maybe as high as 5~10%. Your server has to be set up to allow PHP code in order for you to be able to use it.
