Can you validate at time of input

I've found lots of posts about validation using the field validation and/or rules BUT, they all seem to only run when the form is saved/submitted. Is there any way to have popups or validation at the type in input. For example, as user selects a date which is prior to the current system date; I want a popup that says "Check the date" as they leave that field....not at the end of the form when it's submitted.

When you create a form with many panels as "pages" and the user is on page 5 when they submit....its annoying to get all the validation errors at the end

Hi Michael,

You can use a calculated value control to do the check for the date, and using "if" conditions you can display some message. Show/Hide the control using panel based on the value.

I think the actual validation works only on form submission.
