Hi,
From: "Kornel Lesinski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Saving incomplete forms is a recommendation in <cite isbn="0-7357-1410-X"
;) >Devensive Design for the Web</cite> which provides www.bankone.com as
an example site that saves incomplete applicatios (I don't know however if
that's via save button or just up to the last completed step).
Ok.
IMHO non-validating button makes sense for saving drafts of various kinds
(webmail, blog post, wiki page).
Another use-case is a preview button.
Example: comment submission on a blog. You may require users to fill-in
their name and e-mail address, but these fields aren't neccessary to
display a preview of text formatting.
Although if a preview is forced then the fields are in fact not required,
but I know that some blogs have both Post and Preview available but I don't
know of any that differentiate between fields being required or not required
(client-side) for submitting the form using the different submit buttons.
I agree though that it would be useful.
Regards,
Simon Pieters
