Hi,

I've searched online and the TiddlyWiki site - to no avail - and am wondering how I can accomplish the following:

I have a Table: 2 x 2 cells: (2 Rows and 2 Columns)

| Row 1 - Column 1 | Row 1 - Column 2 |
| Row 2 - Column 1 | Row 2 - Column 2 |

* Row 1 - Cell 1 - has a list of items
* * When I click on list Item 1 in Row 1 - Cell 1 - I want to:
* Update Row 1 - Cell 2

With HTML - it's quite simple - I have four frames:
* Frame 1 (Top Left) - I have my list of items
* Frame 2 (Top Right) - gets the result of the "click" of frame 1

After about 2 days of searching - no luck in TiddlyWiki

---
Note: I think the issues revolve around the fact that TiddyWiki uses different verbiage for what non-TiddlyWiki Users use for common items.

Doing Google Searches - for things that "should be" simple - are not - in tiddlywiki.

Bonus Question:
* Is there some sort of "Magic Decoder Ring" that nOOb's like me can reference?  For what constitutes a Table, Frame, Field, Hover, Icon, etc. - and how these map to TiddlyWiki.

Example - Regular (rest of the world) calls something a "Frame" - TiddlyWiki calls it a "Table." <-- This mystifies me.  Not to mention the poor documentation on the TiddlyWIki site - lack of real-world examples, verbiage that just does not make sense - and the fact that the an "Apple" (which is a fruit) - TiddlyWiki would call it - oh I don't know - "A squiggly line" - yes - I am being facetious - but still - you get the point.

Thanks,

TheNOOb

G'day,

Where did you get info that a TiddlyWiki table matches an frame?

A table in TiddlyWiki is like an html table.

That aside: anything in a TiddlyWiki can be transcluded anywhere in the TiddlyWiki, no frames required.

Anyhow, all of that aside, download the attached, drag into TiddlyWiki.com to import the tiddlers into that TiddlyWiki instance, and sneak a peek at what I've done.

I hope that makes for a good reference point for discussion.

Cheers !

Thank You!

Wow - this is simple - amazing - and easy!

How ever did you find out how to do this?

What should be the Google Search?

In either case - for those wanting to do this - this will save you a TON of searches!

Thank You - Again - Thank You!

:-)

G'day TheNOOb, you'll be a yellow belt at this stuff in no time.

It takes some rolling up of sleeves, digging into the information in TiddlyWiki.com (everything you need is in there, but might need some clarifying), and getting right in there doing stuff.

As you keep pulling your hair and thinking you'll never figure it out, the TiddlyWiki way, everything, just comes together like a big bang.

In the few tiddlers I lobbed at you, we're touching upon what I consider to be the important fundamentals: transclusion, widgets, and filter operators.

Well, wikitext (or wiki markup) is right up there, but that's the fairly easy stuff about formatting.

Play with this stuff, do some reading, ask questions, and look for exercise suggestions.

There are always many ways of doing things, and you'll find some really awesome variety in many already existing threads of conversation.

If there is anything at all that is confusing, not quite clear, please ask.

Cheers !
