Event in HTML5 form raised before validation of input fields?

No, there is no event, which fires before validation happens. There is only the invalid event, which is fired after validation of an invalid field, but before the validation UI is shown (preventing the default, prevents showing the browser validation UI).

No, there is no event, which fires before validation happens. There is only the invalid event, which is fired after validation of an invalid field, but before the validation UI is shown (preventing the default, prevents showing the browser validation UI). In case you want to sync two fields, you have to use to events.

The first is DOMContentReady and the second is the change event. Additional info: if you hide the invalid field element, the browser can not show his validation message to the user, you can workaround this by the following code (Note this assumes that you are using jQuery 1.6x and a special structure). $('textarea.

Wysiwyg'). Bind('invalid', function(e){ //remove validation bubble e.preventDefault(); //implement your own validation UI $(this). Next('div.

Wysiwyg'). After(''+ $. Prop(this, 'validationMessage') +''); }).

Thanks Alexander, this is useful information. I updated the question with more details of my real problem. If you have any idea on how to achieve what I'm trying to achieve I'll accept your answer.

If there are no updates after a while I will also accept your answer, as it's strictly the right answer to my original question. – Joaquin Cuenca Abela Jul 30 '11 at 9:46 I have updated my answer above. – alexander farkas Jul 30 '11 at 10:16 Great answer, thanks Alexander!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
