form-validation

By default, if a user enters a value in a field, the 'eager' validation kicks in. Is there any way to disable 'eager' validation before submit and then enable it after an invalid submit has happened?

I've used $.validator.setDefaults() to initially set the onkeyup and onfocusout properties to false.

In the invalidHandler method I rerun the $.validator.setDefaults(), setting onkeyup and onfocusout properties to true.

No luck with this approach.

Basically, I only want the 'eager' validation to take place after the user tries to submit an invalid form.

Thanks for any help.
