Another Browser Editing Experiment

By Marc Barrot on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 4:36 PM.

I am starting this post in scripting2's workspace. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I am keeping it simple, 3 nodes below the summit/title. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

My next modification to this post will be from iJot. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I just clicked iJotEdit, a bookmarklet in my Safari browser's bookmarks bar, and I am now modifying this post in iJotPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Adding html links to text in iJot's webOutliner is a lot simpler than in scripting2's outliner. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I have just added 2 nodes to the post, with 2 level 3 nodes that should be rendered as subtext by scripting2 in the HTML version. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I'm now saving this version in iJot, my next step is to check the rendered version, then re-open the post in scripting2. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

SUCCESS: The HTML version of this post was perfectly updated by the scripting2 server. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I clicked the 'edit' button on the page, and I am now back typing this in scripting2's outliner. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

This is indeed very cool. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

One caveat though... I am modifying this post in the OPML Editor's outliner, but in a *different* window than the scripting2 workspace. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

There is still a version of this post in the workspace, but it is the initial version, before any in-browser modification. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

This may become confusing. I suspect that if I add another node to the version of the post kept in the workspace and save it, it will overwrite all my previous modifications. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

We may need a 'Refresh' button in the workspace, or a Refresh Post' right click menu option, to update the selected post in the workspace, just as the 'Save' button saves the selected post. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Or maybe someone may think of something even simpler. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

In any event, this is my last modification to this post, now back in iJot (I clicked iJotEdit again). Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dave, I think we nailed it. I am going to focus on step2 of my integration program: creating new scripting2 posts in iJot. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Anyone interested can repeat my steps. Just remember to start your initial post with scripting2 version 0.29 or higher. You can update your own copy by following these steps. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
