Hi,
I know out of the box CMSB validates fields on submit, however I was wondering if it can be setup to do live field validation instead?

Hi,

There is no live validation in CMS Builder but you can add text after a field that is required like "Title field is required" etc. 

Go to your Section Editors, select the Section to edit (ex. News), click modify.

Click modify for the Title field.

Under Field Options for the Field Description, add something the show the field is required:
Required field

You can also add HTML so the text could be bold and red if wanted. 

Hope this helps.

Have a look at http://www.the-art-of-web.com/html/html5-form-validation/ also - some pretty nice examples of how to use css with html5 form validation.

Thanks!

I ended up using an AJAX call to do a live check if the username is available. Was easy to integrate with CMSB and works well.
