    Description

    hello, i'm trying to set up a form with a name attribute, but without success:

    $form = new Zend_Form(); $form ->setAttrib ('id', 'idAttr'); $form ->setAttrib ('class', 'classAttr'); $form ->setName('nameAttr'); [...]

    I've seen that $name = $form->getName(); is returning the right value ('nameAttr'), but $this->view->form = $form;

    produces:

    <

    form id="idAttr" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="classAttr" action="" method="post">

    If I remove or comment: $form ->setAttrib ('id', 'idAttr');

    it produces:

    <

    form id="nameAttr" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="classAttr" action="" method="post"> (see ZF-3643 too)

    thanks for your answer. Didier Maurer

    According to the W3C, "name" is not a valid attribute of

    <

    form>, while "id" is. If you set an explicit id on the form, it will be used; otherwise, it uses the form name as the id attribute. This is by design.
