Si,
Understood. I have tried to encourage others with more knowledge on this to
help us make such included content interact more within tiddlywiki. I
understand the problem may relate to the object being included in the
standard DOM, but tiddlywiki manages its own DOM tree to preform all it's
magic.
keep in mind I am not expert here.
A higher level of interaction with html and the standard DOM including
between the DOM and Tiddlywikis own one would be nice, For example an
action that will populate a local tiddler with the content displayed by the
object.
I have actually installed full featured html pages within tiddlywiki, and
by providing the additional files, css and scripts in the same directory as
the single file tiddlywiki, have got them working. So I am confident we can
create ways to interact with external resources.
Simply being able to save the output of something like;
<object width="100%" height="930" data=
"file:///C:\Data\batches\networkcheck.txt"></object>
into a tiddler, variable or on wikification would be great.
However you would be applying dynannotate to a copy.
Regards
Tones
