Validation by javascript on Save button

I would like to add a java script on save button to validate an edit box for email is not empty,
and if it is empty stay in form and not go to next step

I got following error on log and it seems
ERROR XFormsServer - |Unable to run a two-pass submission and xf:load within a same action sequence.

properties-local.xml:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save-draft.legal.*" >
confirm(message = "Please confirm that you would like to submit your data.")
then navigate(uri="javascript:myjavascript()")
then save
.............
</property>

orbeon form source xml:
<xh:head>
<xxf:script ev:event="xforms-ready">
function myjavascript() {
if (ORBEON.xforms.Document.getValue('plh_personal_information_email-control') = '')
return "Email address can't empty";
}
</xxf:script>

Hi Pouyan,

Is the form created with Form Builder or running within Form Runner?
If it is, are you referring to the standard "save" button? Are you
saying that this is a "save draft" button, so you're OK with some data
in the form being invalid, but would like at least the email to be
there?

Hi Pouyan,

At this point, this type of partial validation isn't supported. So you can only either validate the form, or not validate it.

If you really need to do this, I imagine you could add a button that runs your JavaScript doing the validation with navigate(uri = "javascript: ..."), and your own JavaScript could, after checking that the email was entered, simulate a click on a button that does the save, but that you hide from the UI with CSS. (And note that this wouldn't be fully "secure", as the validation being done in JavaScript, users could get around your validation by doctoring the code sent to the browser.)
