It seems that the year helper doesn't support html attributes. Looking at the API (http://api.cakephp.org/class/form-helper#method-FormHelperyear), it only accepts a small subset of the options that other form helper functions support. I guess this is because it returns a SELECT element and they normally join in with other elements.
It looks like you will have to manually add the div and label around the year helper. Mike.
