Why not just let it happen when the user clicks a submit button? Onexit AKA OnBlur is creepy and confusing.
but it's possible to do it your way. First write a javascript function to submit the form. THen in the form field for the SSN, add in this attribute.. onblur="nameoffunction();" that way, when the user moves out of the field, it calls the javascript, which submits the form magically. walla! -----Original Message----- From: Kris Pilles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 11:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Function? I was curious if it is possible for me to write a function that will onExit from a form field cerify that data against our database? For examples if I enter in my SSN then onexit the ssn would be passed back to the server and a query would execute Either returing the results of my query (firstname, lastname etc...) or it would send back no then I would display a error message. Please advise... Seems possible im just not sure how to do it...exactly...
