You could use JavaScript to have the form submit OnBlur, but that's going to be pretty slow and annoying - consider what would happen if the user is entering several fields and clicks on another field, intending to come back and change it... What effect are you trying to achieve? Just reducing the number of clicks needed to submit a form? If so, some browers will submit the form when you hit the enter key while in a text field, which might have the effect you're looking for without requiring any coding.
