Hi Russell Exactly, its a bit intrusive... one option (although not ideal in some cases) is to use your own validate handler:
//My custom validator void onValidateFromMyFormField(String value) throws ValidationException { if (value == null) throw new ValidationException("Please provide a value for X."); } Which gets invoked on just before the submit, instead of blur. If you have the energy create some component wrappers / mixins to handle Validation, (and share please)... someday I plan to get around to that.

So my question is - does anyone know a way to turn them off for onBlur events only, but retain them for form submit events? It's quite unlikely customers will tolerate these error messages appearing every time they click between fields, but I would prefer to not turn off client-side validation completely, which looks like the only alternative at the moment. cheers, Scott Russell _________________________________________________________________ Messenger's gift to you!
