title: JQuery - Form Validation - Onblur
body: <p>Ok I have a form with jquery validation that works but I want to take it one step further.   It validates using a plug in but only on submit.  I am wondering if there is a way to get it to validate on blur so a person doesn't have to wait until they hit submit to know if they have an error.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded this plugin:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation" rel="noreferrer">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation</a></p>
  
  <p>I included the js plug in file at the top of the page and under that i have the js:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;script&gt;
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $("#formid").validate();
    });
    &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The validation works fine when i submit the form.  I am just wondering what i need to add to this in order for it to validate each field on blur.</p>
  
  <p>If you need to see the js file you can look at it or download it here</p>

  <p>Also at the link towards the bottom of the page there are a bunch of comments.  Some of these comments reference setting up blur i just didn't understand how to do it.  Thank you for any help. </p>
