Tiddlywiki CSS selector

[Mohammad]

If you explore the Vanilla theme

 https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#%24%3A%2Fthemes%2Ftiddlywiki%2Fvanilla%2Fbase

you see selectore like

body.tc-dirty

What is this? why dirty is used?

Its part of save and save before close mechanisium. It gets set on the body tag of the whole wiki. Dirty means something in memory not saved to disk.

I stumbled on it trying to fix a common case on a number of servers where the browser prompts unnecessarily for you to leave the tab window. This makes closing firefox with 10 of tabs a pain.

I need an action widget to do a simple JavaScript call but I don't know how yet.

Not solved yet.

As far as I understand, you can tell if TW is in "dirty" state by looking at the save button - i.e if it is red or not.

Hi Mohammad

To clarify, the term “dirty” is often used in programming to indicate an object whose state has changed but not yet been written to the backing store/database. For example:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1745888/what-is-meant-by-the-term-dirty-object

It’s not intended as a user facing term; that would be something along the lines of “You have unsaved changes”.

Best wishes
