I have never seen such a form. 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). 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. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
