[Haskell-cafe] Fwd: web-routes and forms

[Jasper Van der Jeugt]

Hello,

As Jeremy said, the HTML returned by formHtml is meant to be placed
inside the a <form> tag: it does not include a <form> tag. You should
use it like this:

>             H.form ! A.enctype (H.stringValue $ show enctype)
>                    ! A.method "POST" ! A.action "/" $ do
>                 html  -- The HTML rendered by formHtml
>                 H.input ! A.type_ "submit" ! A.value "Submit"

(with or without the submit button).

Cheers,
Jasper
