多个字段验证…一条错误消息

Question

I need to validate 3 textfields and show red border highlights on the fields but a common error message to show after all 3 fields have been entered.

I have 3 text fields:

<label>LABEL TEXT</label>
<input type="text" value="" size="2" maxlength="2" class="formInput" name="code1" />
<input type="text" value="" size="2" maxlength="2" class="formInput" name="code2" />
<input type="text" value="" size="2" maxlength="2" class="formInput" name="code3" />

Field validations:

Are mandatory fields

Only numbers are allowed and exact 2 numbers should be allowed.

Client-side validations:

I need to apply validations on blur and on the click of a submit button it will validate server side.

I need to apply validations in the following manner---- On blur of the first and second, I need to highlight the fields for invalid entries. But show a common error message (label will be replaced with an error message) after blurring/entering the data in all the three fields.

Please ask questions if anything above is NOT clear...any help much appreciated.
