Thanks Edward. I was hoping for some means of doing this in a redirect-after-post kind of way so that the javascript response to the client actually caused the browser to request the next wizard page via a new url, creating a back-button history entry. I guess generating that URL for a non-bookmarkable page during an ajax form submission and causing the client to redirect is not doable.
In my particular case, I have a wizard step with a single radio group and no default option. Here I expect many users to simply click 'Next' and I was hoping to save them the full page submission just to display the error message. Unfortunately, here the "onblur" approach clearly won't work and I can't think of another event handler onto which I could attach it. However, it still sounds useful for my other form elements and I'll try it out there. Thanks again for the help.
