Hi Rick

> I just assumed that TiddlyWiki simply used the default page saving
mechanism of each browser (the equivalent of just manually choosing "Save
page as..." in the browser menu).

The file/save action isn't available to JavaScript code. As you've
discovered, on most browsers it saves a copy of the original document, and
doesn't incorporate any "live" changes to the DOM.

The default technique used to save changes is to prompt the browser to
download a modified copy of the HTML file. It works pretty well on all
HTML5 browsers, but isn't wildly convenient, as it requires several clicks
to complete a save.

Here's a simple demo app that shows the technique:

And here's the relevant code inside TW5:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/savers/msdownload.js

We have various extensions such as TiddlyFox and TiddlyDesktop that provide
more efficient ways to save changes, including a plugin for IE called
TiddlyIE. See http://tiddlywiki.com for details.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
