How about setting the field to "invalid" to start with and force the user to blur the field for a validation routine to declare it valid.

But this causes a problem when the field has the focus and they click a button to process the form. In this case, only the field's blur event (or change event) gets fired and nothing for the button click event. Seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, so I figure I'm missing something in they way I've coded this. Any suggestions? Here's the very simple code that exhibits the behavior: <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready( function() { $('#id1').blur( function() { alert('blur in id1'); }); $('#id2').click( function() { alert('click in id2'); }); }); </script> </head> <body> </body> <input type="text" value="Sample Text" name="id1" id="id1" /> <input type="button" name="Finish" value="Finish" id="id2" /> </html>
