I'm still not sure about the current checking method. Alot of people sit at their computer thinking of a name to use.. Sometimes they type out part of it and then let it sit. The biggest problem about this current method, is that I can't seem to click back inside the box. At least initially. It took me about a dozen clicks and entirely too much effort to try and edit my username right after it had checked.

But I think I also see the problem in using an onBlur event.. Since you've greyed out the other fields, there's nothing for a person to "Tab" to.
