- I am curious about this as well. Please post responses. If users are entering
- info into a number of text fields and never hit return, it will look to them
- as if all their data entry is completed. Problem is the fields will never
- even have been read by the program because nothing has caused the
- 'validateField' method mentioned above to run.
