Hi Mans
The set and setTo attributes of the button and maketid widgets have
'currentTiddler' as the default target. The setfield widget has
'currentTiddler' as the default target only in the absence of a parameter
to the calling 'tw-set-field' message and in the absence of a value for the
tiddler attribute.
Using the test code -- the setfield widget will target 'Target Two' (the
message parameter) whilst the button widget will target 'Target One'
('currentTiddler'.) The set and setTo attributes of the maketid widget
function the same way as those of the button widget -- adopting the
'currentTiddler' as the target. Neither the maketid nor the setfield widget
change the value of the 'currentTiddler' -- the target must be specified by
way of the calling event parameter or with the tiddler attribute (which
overrides the calling event param.)
<$tiddler tiddler="Target One">
<$setfield set="!!text" setTo="this is the text from the setfield widget">
<$button set="!!text" setTo="this is the text from the button widget"
message="tw-set-field" param="Target Two">Test</$button>
</$setfield></$tiddler>
Hope this clarifies.
regards
