I would actually use a Regular Expression (Regex) to check for blank spaces in a textbox.

For instance the following regex should check for multiple blank white spaces on a line: ^( *)$

If you're using ASP.NET, I would use the RequiredFieldValidator control, which actually checks for blank input fields.  Or you could use a RegularExpressionValidator control and write your own regex, with the ValidationExpression="^( *)$"
