You can use the required/title attributes (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_required.asp)

<form action="@Url.Action("Search","Video")" method="POST">
  <input id="txtsearch" type="text" name="searchbox" required title="Your validation message here." />
  <input id="Button1"  type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

Hi, your solutions works fine but now as I am using form Action my hit is not going to the Action Method,I think it has connection with RouteConfig my config is routes.MapRoute( name: "videosearch", url: "video/search", defaults: new { controller = "video", action = "search" } );

Sorry for my mistake, you also need to add method = "POST" in the form. Edited my answer.
