 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.

Cheers,
Rob.
