There are around 25 questions all in the format 'how much do you agree that..."
I would quite like the user to have their own personal learning notebook but also to be able to monitor aspects of the system model (the topic of my TW), and their changing perception. The idea is an evolving resource where the user is learning about the model and constructing a model and then sharing. Filling in a form (relating to one link in the system) submitting that form to somewhere where it can be shared is would be useful. I will have a look at include plugin, thanks for the tip. I am kind of looking ahead into the unknown. I've seen the jQuery slider UI and am hoping that I will be able to use it in a plugin in TW. I've also seen some jQuery where form data are sent to a server without the whole page refreshing. I am guessing here that these options will open up in the next couple of months as the server side TiddlyWeb and jQuery benefits converge?
