Creating a form using Magritte

Hi,

I'm trying to get an HTML form working for a model object using Pharo 4 and Seaside 3. 

The model is a simple Address class with 3 instance variables: street, postCode and town. I have added the Magritte description methods like so:

magritteDescriptionPostCode

<magritteDescription>

^ MAStringDescription new

accessor: #postCode;

label: 'Postcode';

priority: 250;

yourself

The form is a subclass of WAComponent. It has the following method:

renderContentOn: html

( Address new asComponent

addValidatedForm: { #save -> 'Save'. #cancel -> 'Cancel' };

yourself ) renderContentOn: html

mmm that code looks wrong. You should never send explicit #renderContentOn:

Instead, you should use #render:

renderContentOn: html

html render: ( Address new asComponent

addValidatedForm: { #save -> 'Save'. #cancel -> 'Cancel' };

yourself ) 

Did it change? 

Cheers, 

 

The form displays in the browser but has no Save / Cancel buttons and the form tags are missing as well.

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.
