Unhappy method not firing on "when"

[davedawson]

I'm attempting to use the unhappy method to call a custom function when the field requirements aren't met. I'm using the "when" method to check the fields on "blur." The unhappy method works great when I submit the form, but not on blur.

Same issue here, validation on submit, but no feedback to the user on blur. I put some debug in the library to check if the blur events are firing and they are, there is just no message appended to the markup.

Hi @ryanweber88, just a heads up as per: #72 i'm not actively maintaining this and looking for help. Because obviously other people are :)

Solutions seems to be change
field.testValid();

in line 58 , for

field.testValid(true);

The problem is that some users are counting on this test not firing on the when event. To change the behavior would cause unexpected results for those users should they update.

An example where this could cause trouble is if a user has an ajax request in their validity test and the when event set to keyup. Those server requests would get out of hand.

Even without an ajax request, if the when event is set to keyup, I find it annoying when I start typing my email address and 2 characters in, I'm informed this is not a valid email address.

I'm open to creating a new option: validateWhen that would behave the same as when with the exception that it would test validation.
