I'm trying to validate the user input on a text box. I'm currently using the
lost focus event, but it makes a http request to the server every time the
event is called. I would like to do the validation on the browser side
(using javascript or such), is there any way to do this in RAP?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

first of all, nice to see new people trying RAP:)
The RAP approach is a server-centric one and does not support
client-side validation. The idea is to do this server-side as there
lives all the data to validate the user input.
Unless you really do experience problems with the http requests I would
recommend to stay with the focus- or even modify-listeners. If that
doesn't meet your needs you could write a custom widget that does the
client-side validation.

Cheers,
Rüdiger
