Question on HTML_QuickForm: Validation ignored if specify form action

["Ying Guo, Ms" <ying.guo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I just started to try HTML_QuickForm, and got a problem on setting form
action in the  HTML_QuickForm constructor.

 

 It looks like if I set the form action other than default, i.e., self,
all the validation rule is ignored, the page goes directly to the
process.php after click on submit.

 

Could you help me to figure it out? 

 

Many thanks.

 

Ying
