Hi Tony,

Technically, the tupper page, tiddlywiki.com and many TW pages I made are
all the same: they are single-page web applications. As a user you can load
one single HTML page and you have everything. Then you can disconnect from
the internet and still use the website or navigate through the shop and
everything just works until you close the browser tab.

Heeg/tupper is a really great and innovative example of the potential TW
has concerning presentation. It hides it's TW nature from visitors … while
a savvy TW user can hack it, go to the control panel, activate some buttons
and edit content and even prices. It looks like read-only, but it isn't. It
is dynamic and editable and it hides it very well ;–)

Now about the browser navigation buttons. A single page web app like TW5
does not reload the page, even if the URL changes. Think of it like
internal links or anchors on the same page. They take you to another
section of the same page. Usually, browsers reflect this by appending the
name of the anchor to the url of the page: pagename.html#anchorname. In TW
you can choose if you want this or not and TW will instruct the browser
accordingly. (The first setting I mentioned in my previous post.) The same
is true for including this address in the browser’s history list: with TW
you can choose. (The second setting.) – No matter what you choose, the
browser will not leave the page and all edits are save, even if the app
presents different content after every click and the #anchor segment of the
URL is updated. This is also true if you go back and forth in the browser
history using the browser buttons!

You would be right if we were talking about static websites which TW also
can produce/export but this is not the case with our examples here.

No intent to set you straight – just trying to explain how single page
Tiddlywikis work :–)

I hope I could make my points clear even if my English is not the best.

Cheers,
Thomas
