When does your fiscal run from and to?
Do you have a date / calendar table in your database?
Are you running on an SQL server?
Will you only be looking for current or previous years (i.e. not future years)?
Will the user only be allowed to select the year and last years (i.e. only two possible values for year)?

Depending on the answers there might be a way to configure the prompts without using Javascript...

1. The fiscal year dataitem runs from 2025 to 2012
2.yes i do have date and calender table in my database
3.no.,the tak assigned to me is to look for current year and upcoming year not future years.
4.yes the user can only see two prompts (year prompt and quarter prompt)
5.i need a javascript to execute this. i.e,we will implement a html item near the prompts inorder to validate the prompt before running that prompt.
6.because i am asked to do this task through javascript
