If I typo the card number and there's no JS code to tell me that, I need to submit the form, wait for it to error out, have to re-enter all the billing address information, re-enter the card number, and try this whole process again. I've resorted to re-typing the card number in the "find" box and making sure that it matches the number in the form's field, just to avoid this crap.

That doesn't necessarily have to be the case. If done correctly, the page could come back with errors and the form already filled out. If the connection is secure enough to fill out the form - it must be secure enough to return your data you entered.
