Re: Question Regarding HTML_QuickForm

Thanks Alex, The point which I am not clear, what I need to do in my action.php, do I have to write if $_POST['MyTextBox'] is empty then this means required field was empty. If I have to do this then what is point in making server side rule ( $form->addRule('MyTextBox', 'Your name is required', 'required','','server'); If possible, can you give me some example so that I can understand more.
