validate empty textboxes before leaving the textbo

Question

I am developing an asp web application and I have an online form, I can already prompt the users that the text box is empty after clicking the submit button, however I want to prompt the user that the textbox cannot be left blank..

for example last name, middle name, and first name, when I am on the last name field, and I went to the middle name field, the last name textbox was left empty, I want to prompt the users that the last name textbox was left empty, and when there is already value, the prompt will be removed,

also i want the textbox to be bordered red then resume to normal when there is value,, thanks for your answers

If you are using MVC, then use data annotations or you can use any jquery validation library like http://www.position-relative.net/creation/formValidator/demos/demoValidators.html
