Happy New Year!

Excuse me for going a little off topic, but I am a bit confused...

Please consider the following:

        <html>
        <head>
                <title>Untitled</title>
                <script language="JavaScript">
                        <!-- 
                        function _validateText1() {
                                var validate = document.form1.text1.value;
                                if (validate.length < 1) {
                                        window.alert("Please enter a value
for Text 1.");
                                }
                        }
                        function _validateText2() {
                                var validate = document.form1.text2.value;
                                if (validate.length < 1) {
                                        window.alert("Please enter a value
for Text 2.");
                                }
                        }
                        // -->
                </script>
        </head>
        <body>
        <form name="form1">
                <input type="Text" name="text1" onblur="_validateText1()">
                <input type="Text" name="text2" onblur="_validateText2()">
        </form>
        </body>
        </html>

Is there a way to dynamically send the form name and input box name to the
JavaScript functions as variables so I only have to write one function that
would validate all input text boxes in the form?  Is there a better way to
do an input validation on an "onblur" event that what I am trying to do? Is
there a CF tag that can perform this same function easier on an "onblur"
event?  I know I can use <cfform... and <cfinput... and specify the required
attribute, but this only appears to validate upon form submittal and it is
requested to perform this validation on a blur event - prior to form
submittal.

Any help would be appreciated.
