ColdFusion has these features built-in, so why not use those.

<cfform name="myform">

<cfinput type="text" name="zip" validate="regular_expression" pattern="^\d{5}" validateat="onBlur">

<cfinput type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">

</cfform>

If you don't want to define a custom regular expression as the validation pattern, check out the other options for the validate attribute.

Something like this might help: http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/jquery/form_validation/

Also, googling "jQuery form validation" (and other related phrases) will bring up a lot of good resources- that's how I found the one above.
