The problem with disabled buttons and what to do instead

In 2009 I prototyped a form that disabled the submit button until all the answers were valid.The idea being: the best error is the one the user never sees.But disabled buttons takes this rule to the extreme.And as a result it can frustrate users or worse, cause them to give up completely.Here's why:
Problem #1: They don't give feedback
When a form has mistakes, the user has to look at each field, spot a mistake and work out how to fix it.

Problem #1: They constantly take up space
They get in the way of the actual content.And it's worse on small screens where space is more limited.
