    <p>When loading the page, couldn't you create a hidden form value or js variable in which you store the initial/default value for the field? When they change the form field, validate it, and if it passes, update the hidden field or js variable to match that in the field they updated. </p> <p>When the input given by the user fails validation, show the invalid entry along with the error message and then update the form field back to the value you have saved which would be either the default value or the last valid value that they entered.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong><br> Note that this is only a quick and (very) dirty example of doing what I explained in my answer above. If you have a lot of inputs, you will probably want to store the values in an associative array instead of in hidden form values, but this should give you a good handle on what I am suggesting. I would also strongly encourage you to NOT use alert boxes for notification of invalid answers.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function validate() { var field1 = document.getElementById("field1"); var saved = document.getElementById("field1_save"); if (field1.value &lt; 0 || field1.value &gt; 10) { alert("Field1 value of " + field1.value + " is invalid"); // Change the value back to the previous valid answer field1.value = saved.value; return false; } // Save the valid input saved.value = field1.value; return true; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; Test User Input &lt;form name="form1" id="form1" method="post"&gt; &lt;input name="field1" id="field1" type="text" value="2" onblur="validate();"/&gt; &lt;input name="field1_save" id="field1_save" type="hidden" value="2" /&gt; &lt;input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COI think I did not make myself clear enough in my original question. I will edit my question to clarify further, where my problem lies. Specifically, the question is only concerned with Scenario2, behavior 4.

    2. COI don't see why RC's solution doesn't answer your question. After all, you have to (1) allow the current value in the edit field to change as the user inputs data, and (2) determine that the user has finished inputting data before you can carry out validation. Of course, you might want to validate for each character that the user inputs, rather than waiting for him to finish, in which case your javascript validation function would be called in the onChange event of the edit field rather than in the onBlur event.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
