Hi guys!

First of all, TiddlyWiki is a great tool! I've discovered it a few days ago and I really like it.

I want to create a form, so I can add items to a list without manually creating tiddlers. I've only got this far:

<$edit field="book_name"/>

This creates an input field which defocuses after entering one character. It correctly updates the field, but I cannot type continuously. What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Andrei

Hi

Works better if you use an input form to edit a field in another tiddler -- in this case data entered will first create a tiddler called 'target' (if 'target' does not exist) and enter text into a field called 'test'.

<$edit tiddler="target" field="test" />

regards

That's because you're editing a field of the current tiddler. You have to edit other tiddler fields. Take a look to editabke rable at my site, braintest.tiddlyspot.com. thats a pretty complex example but demonstrates how powerful TW is.

Thanks Matabele and Danielo. Editing other tiddler's fields works indeed.
