Validation message in browser mode

Hi,

I have a infopath form with three views, it is browser enabled and published
in sharepoint site.

I need to show proper validation message on submit. If some of the required
fields are not filled in View2 or view3. It need to say in which view the
required filed are missing instead of "InfoPath cannot submit the form
because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk
(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values)."

That message should have a blue hyperlink that when clicked shows the fields
that are incomplete, although it likely won't specify the view. Do people in
your form really have to switch between views and fill out fields in each one?

Anyway, since I hate that pop-up message, I do something different. I
incorporate a reverse validation method that renders the Submit button
(custom control on the form, not the built-in submit) disabled until all
required fields are complete. I then put my own red asterisks next to the
label as opposed to the one that is put inside the control along with a
message saying that all fields with red asterisks are required before
submitting. You can put that message right by the submit button so that they
can't miss it.
