You can do something like this in javascript

var e = document.getElementById("dropdownname"); 
var datavalue = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value; 
var datatext = e.options[e.selectedIndex].text; 

Then verify if it is blank or null

You should also do server-side validation (in your VB.NET or C# code).

Just check if the DropDownList.SelectedValue is something :)
