>From EditTextWidget: "One trap to be aware of is that the edit text widget cannot be used to edit a field of the tiddler that contains it. Each keypress results in the tiddler being re-rendered, which loses the cursor position within the text field." ... "In short the EditTextWidget can not change properties of the tiddler it is embedded in or part of. It can only change fields of other tiddlers."
What this means in your specific example is since your EditTextWidget and the field that your are editing are in your DataEntry tiddler, it will force a refresh of the EditTextWidget with every keystroke ... even if you transclude it into another tiddler. You are best to tweak your DataEntry EditTextWidget with tiddler=DataStorage so that the widget is in the DataEntry tiddler and the field being edited is in DataStorage tiddler. For sure, it is an annoying limitation and an easy trap to fall in considering that the default tiddler for the widget is currentTiddler but once you get things working, it is easy problem to avoid. I banged my head on this one for a while. /Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
