Views are not as flexible as we would like them to be.
Personally I use custom HTML instead of data and table views,
and a new form widget I wrote (that can be initialized
from a form view if desired) for forms.

with-html-form comes in handy (with corrections to your HTML
as well):
(defmethod render-widget-body ((widget list-mk) &rest args)
(with-html-form (:POST (lambda (&key the-string &allow-other-keys)
(format t "Adding string: ~S~%" the-string)
(push the-string (slot-value widget 'list-so-far)))
(:input :type "text" :name "the-string")
(:input :type "submit" :value "Add to list")))
Untested, and please forgive me any mismatched parens;
nesting of forms should be unambiguous through the indent
in any case.
