To clarify further...
You have to use a Tapestry Form component, not a regular HTML form.
Otherwise there are important things you can't do:
- you can't use the Errors component to display the errors (eg.
<t:errors/>). Tapestry depends on it being within a T5 Form.
- you can't refer to the Form in the page class (eg. @Component(id =
"names") private Form _form;)
- which means you can't record errors against the form (eg.
_form.recordError(_firstNameField, "First Name is required.");)
etc, etc.
And I doubt a regular HTML form would post the right URL. Here's some

So the choice then is simply between regular instrumentation, eg.
<t:form t:id="names">
and invisible instrumentation:
<form t:type="form" t:id="names">
which is explained here:

I have used "form" instead of "t:form"? I don't know.
