Re: [fw-mvc] Zend Form: I can't seem to set the name attribute!

I haven't seen anything that would use a form 'name' attribute.  As that makes little sense even when thinking about HTML. 
All scripts normally use form id, and input names; or input ids for direct manipulation without context of a containing form.

Form name should be undefined, properly.  But if you don't want the page to validate, or adhere to any standards it could be added.

I think that one should be able to add this (or any) arbitrary attribute name, but have a warning issues if it's used unless explicitly set a non-conforming state in the library.

Is this for real?

There are 1000s of scripts that reference the form name to do javascript
actions and such.

How should something that needs a reference to a form name work then?

Thanks.
