Hi
   please check the below example if it helps you
<script language='JavaScript'>     
      function validateInputField() {
          var funcName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";
          func = window[funcName];
          var inputfield = eval(func("xyzinputfield"));
          var inputFieldValue = inputfield.getValue();
          input  =  inputFieldValue.toLowerCase();
          if ( input.checkforsomecondition ) {
                       true perform some action
            else {  false display some message
                    alert( "please......... give some message upon failure " ); }
</script>
use some hbj code similar to this
<tr><td width = 40%>
<hbj:inputField
           id="xyzinputfield"
           type="string"
           maxlength="100"
           value="Your name here"
           jsObjectNeeded="true"
/>
<hbj:button
           id="exbutton"                 
           value="Your name here"
           OnClientclick="validateInputField()"
/>
