These events happen in sequence, and once a failure happens, the
process is stopped. Think of it this way: we know that the current field is not
valid, so why bother continuing to see if anything else is valid? The record
cannot be saved as it exists.
If the current field fails validation, the save process will stop then.
Normally a message is displayed in the status bar to inform the user of that
fact, but you've chosen to suppress that behavior.
What I think you're trying to do is not say that the field is invalid,
but that the record with the field in that state is invalid. So perhaps try
moving your onFieldValidationFailed() code to the onLostFocus() event handler
for that control. This way you get the coloring you want without disrupting the
process, and when you run save(), the validateRecord() code will catch the
problem and display the normal error message.
