[Seaside] self call: not working

[John Thornborrow]

To follow this up... It doesn't quite work as I had hoped.

MyRootComponent>>renderContentOn: html
  html render: LoginTask new.

LoginTask>>go
  self isolate: [ answers := self call: LoginForm new ]
  model loginWith: (answers at: 1) password: (answers at: 2)

LoginForm>>renderContentOn: html
  html form with: [
    html textInput
      id: 'username';
      callback: [ :x | username := x ].
    html textInput
      id: 'password';
      callback: [ :x | password := x ].
    html submitButton callback: [ self answer: answer ]
  ]

Renders a blank page.. is there anything different I can do, so that it
will achieve this same goal?

Many thanks,
John
