I just thought of something that might be a successful workaround. What about a required form input that can never be completed! Further, the custom error message could be something like: "Please be sure all fields are completed. When only this message appears, you are ready to print." I guess then, the info would compare on the server, but never be stored. Thoughts?

You would have to create a custom solution and employ some kind of client-side validation script to check for valid input without submitting the form.

I've hidden the submit button with a replacement image of a 1 pixel image, but that doesn't give the benefit of making sure the user is forced to fill in the appropriate fields. So, is there a way to validate without submitting? Thanks
