"Each keypress results in the tiddler being re-rendered, which loses the cursor position within the text field". - yep, that's exactly what happens. Buuuut... how to update the fields of the TARGET Tiddler?.. How to chose the title of the tiddler I want to change the field values?? Change it manually EVERY TIME changind the name of "DataStorage" tiddler to the needed one? Then - what's the point??? It makes it absolutely useless this way... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
