Hi,
Thank you so much for the advice, I appreciate it. I completely agree with you about the onKeyUp event (in fact, you might have missed the "EDIT" I put in there just after I posted my message, cos I realized it would mean too many requests to the server) ... as for a solution, well I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I designed a little js script myself based on what ive gathered from a various tutorials and implemented a way that would pop up a little message right below the field after an onChange event. This way it only validates it when the user has finished typing and moved the cursor to a new field. The only problem so far is that the last field in the form dosent get much attention since its usually the submit button after that. Know what I mean? I didn't figure out how to disable the submit button.. lol actually i forgot all about that, I just remembered after reading what I wrote.
I've heard of prototype, I will certainly give it a try. It is sort of an ajax frame work isnt it? Maybe I can look at the code and see if I can figure out how it works from the inside. Thanks again for the tip.
By the way, have you heard of ext.js ? It is also a framework, but it seems very bloated... have you ever tried it?
Thanks again and take care
