title: jQuery Validate Text Field On Blur
body: <p>I'm using the jQuery Validation Plugin : <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/" rel="nofollow">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm having a problem which is causing the validation to start when the user starts typing however this is not what I want.
  I want to the validation to start after the user leaves the text field.
  Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;input class="required email" type="text" size="26" name="usernameField" id="usernameField" /&gt; 
  
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://jzaefferer.github.com/jquery-validation/jquery.validate.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  
    $(document).ready(function(){
  
           $("#usernameField").validate({
             onfocusout:false
            });
  
  
     });
  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought using the onfocusout option would work but it's still validating as the user types.
  What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
