document.getElementById(fourFields[i]).value.length counting also 
spaces. So, if field contains only spaces then the question is: "Is it 
still empty field?". From amount of characters point of view - no, field 
is not empty, but for me, logically field is empty if contains only: 
spaces, tab characters, white-spaces or "new line character".

Personally I use something extra (except checking length) to be sure if 
field is really empty:

var isEmpty = (function(){
    var notEmpty = new RegExp('[^\\t\\n\\r ]');

    return function(str){
       if(typeof str !=== 'string'){
          return false;
       }
       return !notEmpty.test(str);
    }

}());
