Another example See this HTML
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br> <button type="submit">Submit</button><br> <button type="submit" formaction="/action_page2.php">Submit to another page</button> </form> Pressing submit will craft a HTML link to the PHP page http://127.0.0.1:8088/action_page.php?fname=Tony&lname=Muscio Why cant we pass this to a macro or a temp tiddler? Even to our own wiki? Actually I just did it <form action="http://127.0.0.1:8088/Instances/TiddlyWiki5.html#";> First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Results in http://127.0.0.1:8088/Instances/TiddlyWiki5.html?fname=Tony&lname=Muscio# Which reloads the current wiki and $:/info/url/search contains ?fname=Tony&lname=Muscio <http://127.0.0.1:8088/Instances/TiddlyWiki5.html?fname=Tony&lname=Muscio#%24%3A%2Finfo%2Furl%2Fsearch> Regards Tony On Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at 11:29:40 AM UTC+10, TonyM wrote: > > Folks, > > I may try and restate this another way. > > When using TiddlyWiki we can include HTML structures and most work well > however they do not interact with tiddlywikis variables, fields state > tiddlers. > > The point is the values and selections made in html is stored in the > browser, a simple example is the details object > <https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_details.asp> > This works in tiddly wiki > > <details open> > <summary>Summary</summary> > Content > </details> > > > You will see the details opens and closes and remembers the state until > you leave the tiddler. > > In a javascript permissible environment you can perform quite generic > manipulations such as > Access a Details Object > var x = document.getElementById("myDetails"); > Create a Details Object > var x = document.createElement("DETAILS"); > > > > > Here is an example of some level of interaction with html objects.
