try this

ASP.NET

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnSave" Text="Save" OnClientClick="return Validate();" OnClick="btnSave_Click" />

JavaScript

function Validate()
        {
            var ddl1 = document.getElementById('<%= ddl1.ClientID %>');
            var ddl2 = document.getElementById('<%= ddl2.ClientID %>');
            debugger;
            if (ddl1.options[ddl1.selectedIndex].text == '' || ddl1.options[ddl1.selectedIndex].text == '')
            {
                alert('Please enter the data');
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        }
