Add page footer with explicit next steps

[torrin47]

EPA Data workgroup asked for a brief footer directing users to address any validation errors and click submit button when complete.

How's this for some draft footer text?

You have reached the last of the Open Data Metadata Editor elements. If there are valid entries for all of the mandatory elements and no invalid entries for any optional elements, the submit button at right should be {green or 508 equivalent} and you may submit your record. If not, please address any validation errors or missing entries. You may also save a copy of your record before or after submission using the menu at top left.

Footer added. We could make the footer different based on document validity, even include info on what element needs attention if document invalid.

I think the footer looks great, and the idea of adding more information is worth considering:

• Con: until a user starts populating elements, a full list of invalid elements could be long and ugly. This might be mitigated by following the pattern already implemented by clicking the submit button when there are invalid elements - it only shows a message for the first invalid element.
• Pro: although clicking on the submit button before it turns green does show a useful message about the first invalid element, many users might never try clicking on the button to see the constructive feedback. There's something to be said for putting this info in plain sight.

I'll spin off a new ticket for this enhancement and include it in phase 2 after you get back.
