From "my" experience, I would suggest that you ALWAYS post back to the same URL. All forms I've seen that post to a different target have issues when validation fails and they suddenly need to go back to the original form-- they tend to implement weird and not so wonderful techniques to get back to that form while preserving the posted data in the session or something. If they try to go back at all... some just say fail and tell you to hit your browser's back button.
Leaving the action attribute empty should cause the browser to post back to the same URL without you needing to re-iterate it programmatically in the action attribute.
