Trying to make TW 2.9.0 save in Opera 12.17, I started to trace what's going on and here what I've found:
0. TW that I'm currently using is 2.7.1, so I'm not sure yet if the problem arised in 2.9.0 or in 2.8.0/2.8.1 1. In 2.7.1 and 2.9.0 javaSaveFile has the same code. I decided to test TW 2.9.0 with the old TiddlySaver which works for me with TW 2.7.1. 2. When I press "save changes", javaSaveFile is actually called, the exception is applet.saveFile is not a function. applet = document.applets['TiddlySaver'] 3. In TW 2.7.1 (and old TiddlySaver), if I write in console document.applets['TiddlySaver'] I get <applet style="position:absolute;left:-1px" name="TiddlySaver" code="TiddlySaver.class" archive="TiddlySaver.jar" width="1" height="1"/> In TW 2.9.0 (and old TiddlySaver), I get (!) HTMLCollection [<applet style="position:absolute;left:-1px" name="TiddlySaver" code="TiddlySaver.class" archive="TiddlySaver.jar" width="1" height="1"/>, <applet style="position:absolute;left:-1px" name="TiddlySaver" code="TiddlySaver.class" archive="TiddlySaver.jar" width="1" height="1"/>] At the same time, if I do this in Chrome, I get <applet style="position:absolute;left:-1px" name="TiddlySaver" code="TiddlySaver.class" archive="TiddlySaver.jar" width="1" height="1"/> in both cases. Also, the same thing (HTMLCollection) appears instead of the applet in Opera with the new TiddlySaver. So, this is the reason why saving doesn't work..
