Why are you using JavaScript to validate? Use ASP or another server side script.

Well, typically it's a good idea to handle any validation that you can on the client-side AS WELL AS server-side.

I'm not going to tell you how exactly...but using JavaScript you can iterate through those fields and check if they have a value. Keep a counter and if, by the end of the iteration, there are 4 values, then the validation should pass.

Fine with me, but I absolutely HATE websites that have a popup that says, "You are missing a required field". After I see that, I have to click it and say, "OK", and re-enter. A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G! I rather submit the form and have the server kick back an error message on the page. I think it is cleaner and more professional looking.

You don't have to use a popup, just set the visibility of a div or something to display a message. I agree...the Javascript alert is annoying...which is why it's good to use a combination of div's and CSS with the JavaScript validation.

Agreed -- but the client-side script doesn't HAVE to use a popup to indicate which fields are missing, invalid or whatever. I agree, it's much cleaner to put some kind of indication on the page near the missing field. Of course the ASP.NET validators make this kinda moot anyway.
