I think this will be a additional feauture of  FormBuilder (generating the
js to validate).

But you can not trust on that validation.

Actually the from will be redisplayed with the missing/faulty fields cleared
and a collection of error noctices somwere on the form page. So you don't
have to go back (thats a mess and users hate that ;))

You just correct the errors and press submit again.
