We are using the JQuery Validate plugin from Jörn Zaefferer to validate if the user enters a valid timespan. There are two input fields and the plugin checks if the second entry is later than the first entry.
e.g.  first entry: 8pm, second entry: 10:30pm --> everything is all right
first entry: 8pm, second entry 7:30pm --> that's an error

              
Let's suppose the time frame the user wants to enter is 10:30pm to 10:45pm. That's a totally valid entry.

The user enters 10:30pm into the first input field.
Then he starts to enter the later time into the second input field by entering the first number - the 1. He intends to enter the rest of the time right after (the 0:30pm)
However, now the plugin starts to validate and throws an error message, because 10:30-1 is not a valid timeframe.

A solution to this problem would be to delay the validation for a second so that the user has time to finish the process of entering his numbers.

Is it possible to delay the validation process?


Thanks,
