If you are talking about the latest problems, people reported with FireFox5, this isn't a cross-browser problem.
I don't remember one, that said:"I can't load my TW anymore, all my data is gone." Most of them said:"I can't import the content of one TW into a eg: master TW". Or "I can't open my master TW, that automatically imports content from other TWs". Which seems to be blocked, due to security issues. Or it is a browser bug. The single TW files seem to be still accessible. So it is a loss of convenience and not data. The HTML4 format works fine with new browsers. > I would have thought newer browsers would keep backward compatibility with > well-written JavaScript, so if I want to use an archived TW twenty years > from now I wouldn't have to resurrect the whole working environment. JavaScript also has an ongoing development. Even if it is a slow one. There may be functions that can be used at the moment, but may be depricated in future versions. Also mostly due to security reasons. So checking if you can access your archive every year, would be a good idea. I personally check mine at least every 3 years. > Maybe I need to make sure my important data stored in TWs is also exported > as CSV when it gets archived. . . Saving valuable data in 2 indipendent formats, isn't a bad idea anyway. If you can make sure, that future programms can read your CSV files. It's just an other file format, but imo doesn't solve the long term accessibility problem, because data needs to be stored on a media eg: CD and there you also have an accessibility problem. ..... ==== on topic ============ @rob I think you found http://tiddlyspace.com, which was developed for editing TW in the cloud. have fun! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
