var eYear = $("#endID").text();

JavaScript

function Yearcompare()
{
var year1=$("#dropdownlistboxes1").val();
var year2=$("#dropdownlistboxes2").val();

if(year1 < year2){
alert("Start year must < than end year");
}
}

Call this Function on your dropdownlistboxes1 on change event.

HTML

<select id="dropdownlistboxes1"  önchange="Yearcompare()" name="xxx">
</select>
