DHTML Form Validation - onPaste event not Triggered by...

Here is a work around for the problem with Firefox/Google AutoFill

Prior to submitting (in the onsubmit) I call the following function.
It loops through the form and validates each field one last time.

Please note : In my code, I do not validate hidden, radio , or image types.

function dblcheckFormValidation()
{
var inputFields = document.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');

var inputs = new Array();
for(var no=0;no<inputFields.length;no++){
inputs[inputs.length] = inputFields[no];
}
for(var no=0;no<inputs.length;no++){
if (inputs[no].getAttribute('type') != 'radio' && inputs[no].getAttribute('type') != 'image' && inputs[no].getAttribute('type') != 'hidden') {
validateInput(null,inputs[no])
}
}

}

This approach to form validation is cool.

I have it in operation on a site.

Folks are really not cool with their autofill not working.

Basically, without an autofill workaround this approach is not going to be production worthy.

I would like to stress that the validation needs to show fields autofilled as validated as soon as the form loads, or within microseconds of page load.

Possible?
