title: MVC bypass client-side validation ("save progress" vs "submit")
body: <p>I have a form that I want to be able to save without validating, but validates on submit. I've got two buttons on this form to either save or submit.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is: if I use a "submit" button to save (and then do a switch on which action in the controller), jquery.validate kicks in and I can't save a partially-filled out form.</p>
  
  <p>If I do it as a link, I don't know how to make the form post to the new action in the controller.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the HTML from the view:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a class="btn  btn-default" data-placement="right" data-title="Save your progress." href="/Summary/Save/2" rel="tooltip"&gt;&lt;i class="glyphicon glyphicon-floppy-disk"&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Save Summary&lt;/a&gt; 
  &lt;a class="btn  btn-default" confirm="Are you sure you want to revert to the previous saved copy? You will lose all changes since your last save." data-placement="right" data-title="Revert back to your last saved copy." href="/Summary/Revert/2" rel="tooltip"&gt;&lt;i class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Revert Changes&lt;/a&gt; 
  &lt;button class="btn-default  btn btn-primary" confirm="This will submit the summary to the evaluator for review. No changes will be allowed unless the evaluator returns it. Are you sure?" type="submit"&gt;Submit Summary&lt;/button&gt;
  </code></pre>
