Well, it's not a 'bug' in a common sense of this word --- the getValue() method through which getElementValue() works is just not implemented in HTML_QuickForm_file. :] I think it makes sense to implement it, I'll probably do this soon. > Also, is there some method that simply returns the same data array > that a callback function would receive as its parameter? AFAIK, there is none.
