Or you could use the onchange event.  The problem with events like that is 
that they are fired every time a key is pressed, so if user wanted to type 
in '1234' the event would fire 4 times - how would you know when they had 
finished entering data in that field?

I don't know if this is appropriate for what you're trying to do, but 
alternatively you could move the validation out of the onblur() and 
validate all fields when the user tries to take any action, e.g. clicking 
submit button.

You could use the onkeyup event to trap the individual key strokes.
