Can you give an example of how you've written your validator?  I'm suspecting 
it is on how you defined the trigger.

It's a focus border.
Usually, it's blue. I'm not sure how it's red in your case!
You can change the color following this example.
Thanks to Peter Dehaan for his great tip.

OR you can hide this by using the property: focusAlpha


Good luck.

this occurs due to validation errors. in ur case i think while rendering it 
focus in ur component and on focus out it validates ur component. i havent 
tried it but i think u can use initialize property of the component to stop 
validation at initialization process. Or u can assign the validator to that 
component after all components have been rendered.
i will try to find out more and will let u know.

If found that .errorString=null clears the red border while setting it 
to a value displays it.

It seems to be the case that it's validating on focus out. I realize I need
to come up with a test case to see if this is the default behavior or
something causing it in my project.

After some testing it appears to prevent red borders early as you say if I
do not assign validators until the time the submit button is clicked. thank
you
