I think that's more a JavaScript question than a QuickForm one. I am not a JS guru, but I think there is a possibility to set/remove event handlers in JS code. So you'll have to add an onClick handler to your Cancel button that will remove an onSubmit handler from form.

I got around the problem by making one of my action buttons just that - a simple button element and combining this with the javascript mentioned in the email from Jeroen. $actions[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('button', 'action', 'Cancel', array("onClick" => "location.href='index.php'")); For the purists out there, I think "officially" you should use window.location.href, some browsers may complain otherwise, but I'm not 100% sure..
