var userPass = document.getElementById('TxtDepCode').value;

Or

var userPass = document.getElementById('<%=TxtDepCode.ClientID%>').value;

Modify the first line of function to get value of textbox as above

if (userPass==''){

Modify if as above

The crucial issues in the code are as follows:

  1. Get the value of the password and not the element:

    var userPass = document.getElementById('TxtDepCode').value;

  2. Change the if to == or === instead of single =

    if (userPass == '') {

  3. You are using <asp:TextBox> that can have a dynamic ID. Therefore you should get the dynamic ID using .NET's ClientID:

    var userPass = document.getElementById('<% =TxtDepCode.ClientID %>').value;

You need to return false if value is blank too

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function confirm_user() {
    var userPass = document.getElementById('TxtDepCode');
    alert(userPass)
    if (userPass.value == ''){ // == not = and userPass.value
    alert("value is blank");
    return false; // Need to stop the function
    }
    if (confirm("Department already available, would you like to update ?") == true)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
