function validate(){
if((document.all.filname.value=="") || (document.all.filname.value==null)){
alert("Please enter filename");
return false;
}
else{
//code to submit the form
return true;
}
}

Try this:

<script>
  function TestForm(){
if(document.formName.theFile.value.length == 0){
  alert("File was not selected");
  return false;
}
return true
  }
</script>
<form name="formName" onsubmit="return TestForm()">
  <input type="file" name="theFile">
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Test">
</form>
