Can anyone suggest how I can prevent form users from exiting fields with
validation errors?
I have built a test form to be used with browser clients. The form works
well, but I want to control input a little better by not allowing the user to
exit a field with a validation error. The event I would use to ensure that
the user cannot exit a field with a validation error is not available for
browser-compatible forms (ContextChanged). All of my testing has been with
the InfoPath client. Since I don't have a server yet, I am pretty sure I
cannot test the form in a browser client. I would like to think that I can
modify the view1.xls file to add script that would handle the context changes
(onBlur event), but currently I cannot test this. I am looking into using
ASP.NET and possibly other technology to create the form, but I would really
like to continue using InfoPath even if I need to extend it in some ways with
script and so on.
I am also looking at using events in a similar way to provide something like
a graphical screen tip, showing different images to help users understand the
input required for the current field.
