In addition to an order form, which submits information, I have a second similar form which is only meant to be printed out for faxing, but not submitted.
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
Nope, the validation happens on the server side once the form is posted. 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.

Thanks for your reply. 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?
Yep, that's kind of an odd workaround but conceptually it could work.
