How can I add field validation rules into my button script?

I am building a customer facing VF page with several input fields (this is being used as a Pre-Chat form in Live Agent).  I need to run validation rules to ensure these fields are populated when the "begin" button is clicked.  How do I do this?  Adding required="true" to the input fields themselves doesn't do anything.

<!-- Detail inputs -->
First Name: <input type="text" name="liveagent.prechat:leadFirstName" onchange="javascript: document.getElementById('prechat_field').value=this.value;" required="true"/><br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="liveagent.prechat:leadLastName"  required="true"/><br />
Company: <input type="text" name="liveagent.prechat:leadCompany"  required="true"/><br />
Email: <input type="text" id="contactEmail" name="liveagent.prechat:leadEmail" required="true"/><br />
Phone: <input type="text" name="liveagent.prechat:leadPhone"/><br />
<br/>

Button:
<input type="button" value="Begin Chat Session" id="prechat_submit" onclick="javascript: getRemoteContact();"/>
