Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to perform a check using JavaScript for people picker controls.
Did you mean you wanted to make a validation of people picker control?
You can do the steps as below.
Just Add a content editor webpart in you list form(NewForm.aspx or EditForm.aspx) and put the script below: To add CWEP to you list form you can refer Link
2. Add your 'Control UserField_upLevelDiv ID'(Using View Source you can get upLevelDiv  id of that contol)
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPickerInputElement(identifier)
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName('DIV');
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++)
var tempString = tags[i].id;
if ((tempString.indexOf('UserField_upLevelDiv') > 0))
if(identifier == tempString)
var innerSpans = tags[i].getElementsByTagName("SPAN");
for(var j=0; j < innerSpans.length; j++)
if(innerSpans[j].id == 'content')
return innerSpans[j].innerHTML;
return null;
var PickerPerson = getPickerInputElement('Control UserField_upLevelDiv ID');
alert(PickerPerson);
// For Validation
if(PickerPerson == null)
alert('Please enter PP value.');
return false;
</script>
