[twdev] What happened to twFile?
John Kim Murphy
Hello,
I was creating a Single Page Application(SPA) using twFile.
However, it seems the jQuery plugin was folded back into the TiddlyWiki code.
Does anyone know why?
The latest version of twFile does not work well in IE.
I think the newer TiddlyWiki code will work.
I am thinking about just extracting the bits I need.
Otherwise, does anyone have a better suggestion for creating an SPA?
If there is interest, I could revive the jQuery.twFile plugin.
Thank you,
John

Unfortunately, this was necessary to retain backwards compatibility
without compromising the stand-alone plugin:

recognized beyond TiddlyWiki - so AFAIK, few hackers have explored
alternative avenues.
FWIW, Mike gave a presentation at JSConf recently:

results in the following error when the edit button is pressed:
[...]
Message: Unexpected call to method or property access.

The error is located within the jQuery code. I tried replacing with
jQuery 1.4.2 with similar results.

being maintained?
I assumed the jQuery plugin was abandoned. They are just so different
now (and the TiddlyWiki filesystem save() still works in IE.)
BTW the SPA I am creating is a todo list task manager. It uses an HTML
table to store a simple database table.

where things are going awry?
Things are pretty busy at the moment, so I'm not sure when we'll get
around to looking into this. Thus any help debugging this would be very
welcome; identifying the statement triggering this error would be a
great help (once that's identified, the fix might be obvious).

With the advent of TiddlyWiki5, $.twFile will become a primary concern
again, as I'm pretty sure Jeremy will use this modern API.

I had a similar error. The problem was not caused by jQuery itself by
a bad argument that was passed to jQuery from the twDemo. For me, it
was the CSS attribute "marginTop" which is an invalid CSS attribute.
Changing mine to "margin-top" solved my issues.
Hope this helps,
Dan

The problem was in the twFileDemo.html file on line 397:
var textarea = $("<textarea></textarea><br>").css({
That "<br>" messes up jQuery's text() method when inserting text
between the opening and closing <textarea> tags.
Removing that "<br>" solves the problem in IE; "marginTop" does not
actually cause problems.

Excellent work uncovering that! Should be fixed now.
