I have a web form that has validators on it along with textboxes. I want the user to save their data so that they can come back and finish their work. When the user clicks on the save button the validations fires which is what I want but I still want the data to save in the database. Is there a way to do this and keep the validators firing?

If you really need validation, your approach is correct. I cannot see any problem or controversy.

What you're trying to achieve is like offline versions of forms. If so, you can automatically save the data of the user in the localStorage (HTML5). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Storage[^]

You can save the data the user would input in the localStorage, and upon the Save button clicks, you can validate the data. Note that there are many methods to validate the data. Using client-side code as well as using server-side code.

It depends on how you want to implement the validation to your data.
