Rise: How to Create Forms with Design Templates?

As a test, I am trying to create a form in an elevator with a design template. I am using Lift 2.5

I've already managed to create a working form using forForm, but I'm just looking into all the possible ways.

My html file contains the following code:

...
<span class="lift:Util.entry?form=post">
  <span id="etitle"></span>
  <span id="ebody"></span>
  <span id="esubmit"></span>
</span>
...

      

        
        
        
      

    

And in my Util.scala I have defined an entry fragment as shown below:

def entry = {
  "#etitle *" #> SHtml.text(title, title = _)
  "#ebody *" #> SHtml.text(body, body = _)
  "#submit *" #> SHtml.submit("Save", saveEntry)
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

All spans remain empty; What am I doing wrong?

Thank!
