Question

I have a form that uses jquery form validator: My question is how to i get the validation to trigger not just on submit but also on blur? I want it to validate each individual field on blur (not the entire form on blur because i don’t want the errors displayed for fields they haven’t yet scrolled down to).

I love this plug in if only i could get it to validate each field on blur. For long forms, i need the user to be be alerted before they fill out the entire form.

I am new to jquery and form validation so if someone knows how to fix this can you be specific on how and what files i need to edit in order to accomplish this. Thank you.

Answer 1

    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery().ready(function() {
       jQuery("#form").validate({
          onfocusout: function(element) { jQuery(element).valid(); } ,
});
})
     </script>

By adding this i got the onblur to work.
