​For highlighting the error field and enable user to navigate to other
cells using TAB key,
I spend some time looking and debugging into the code and found that it
requires lot of changes in slick.grid.js core functions as there are no
event listeners provided to ​listen and changes in core file is not
preferred. It may also break other functionalities as code is quite complex.
So, I think we should validate data on server side and display any error
messages on UI.
