! Introduction
|
|
|
|
The edit text widget provides a user interface in the browser for editing text tiddler fields. The editing element is dynamically bound to the underlying tiddler value: changes to the tiddler are instantly reflected, and any edits are instantly propogated.
|
|
|
|
By default, the edit text widget generates a `<textarea>` as the HTML editing element when the `text` field is edited, and a `<input type="text">` element otherwise. This behaviour can be overridden with the `tag` and `type` attributes.
|
|
|
|

The content of the `<$edit-text>` widget is ignored.

|
! Notes
|
|
|
|
One trap to be aware of is that the edit text widget cannot be used to edit a field of the tiddler that contains it. Each keypress results in the tiddler being re-rendered, which loses the cursor position within the text field.
|
|
|
|
Instead, place the edit text widget in a [[template|TemplateTiddlers]] that references the tiddler you want to modify.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you wanted to edit the value of the "myconfig" field of the tiddler "AppSettings", you might do so by creating a separate tiddler "ChangeAppSettings" that contains the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$edit-text tiddler="AppSettings" field="myconfig"/>
|
|
```
