Is it critical that the validator fire when the field loses focus,

I'd like it to fire when the field loses focus, so the typist knows
immediately when they've made a mistake. Ideally, it would fire, and
return focus to the ZipCode field, so they cannot continue 'till
they've fixed the mistake. (See my earlier post about setFocus() not
behaving properly...)
When your form is submitted, I assume you're running all your
validators anyway, since otherwise validation could be bypassed.
That hadn't occurred to me. Running the validators when the form is
submitted, I mean... Guess I need to do that too. :-)
So you could just make your validator "required='false'" and in the
function that fires when the form is submitted, do something like (pseudo)
if (country="USA" || country="Canada") {
ZipCodeValidator.validate();
}
Right -- I have something like that now for the focusOut event on the
ZipCode field. Problem I have is, I want it to pop up the "tooltip"
when the code is invalid -- but it doesn't do that when I use a
validation function like that. How do I fix that problem?
Most of this validator stuff is covered well in the LiveDocs, by the way.
I find LiveDocs very confusing. It's hard for me to find what I need
in there. Maybe I need a tutorial on how to use LiveDocs. :-) All
those packages and what not -- I rarely know exactly what package I'm
looking for, so it's hard to find the right one to drill down into
the answer I'm looking for. And the search-box never seems to find
the right thing for me. So I just ask questions here instead, if I
can't find the answer on Google. <GRIN>
