Forcing the user to fill the metadata dialog without closing it

I have set a Metadata Dialog that displays automatically when the user saves the DCR
(to know how to set this dialog ,see the post"set up a metadata dialog so that the dialog is displayed when a DCR is saved ")

Now I want to force the user to fill the Metadata Dialog without closing it
-------------------------------------------
I am trying this way

I made a callout from the javascript ,and in the ipl file I am trying to get the metadata for the DCR.
If the metadata for that DCR is not set, then I am trying to invoke the metadata dialog again.But its not working.

Anyway I am attaching the two files I created to do this
1)javascript "sportsItm.doc" and
2)ipl file "check_metadata_attrib.doc"

please have a look into these files and tell me where I am wrong
I also want to know how to return values from ilp file to catch them in form api after the callout?

OR is there any other way to do it

Hi ,I made all the items mandatory as you said ,but user always has an option to click on 'cancel' button or the red cross 'X' mark on the top right corner of the metadata form.So the user can close the form using these 2 options without filling it.
This should not happen in my case .

I always put this check into the workflow as an external task. If the MD is not properly set, then it goes back to the set metadata step.
