You forgot to use "/> at the end of each <$edit-text ... /> widget. You also need to put a <br> following each, so that they will be on separate lines. Thus: this is field1: <$edit-text field="field1"/><br> this is field2: <$edit-text field="field2"/><br> Note: the above will still have a problem: due to the TWCore refresh handling, you can't use <$edit-text> to modify a field in the same tiddler as the edit field. What happens is that as soon as you type a character into the edit edit, the tiddler it is contained in is automatically refreshed, and the edit field loses the input focus. The result is that you can only enter one letter at a time. This was discussed recently here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/n5zItAWIZFw and I provided a work-around solution: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/n5zItAWIZFw/T4ZHA5mTAAAJ that involves using a temporary tiddler to hold the input while you type, and then you press an "ok" button to copy that input into the desired "target" field. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
