I cannot make plugins, because I cannot write codes (I hope one day I can). I than would add such a button. The Notepad Feature plugin has one. It is great!

I appreciate it very much. For some plugins it makes sense to have an edit button, and for others it doesn't. It really depends on the content you are trying to display. I'm not sure that I would want people editing content that I was providing them via, for example, and HTML screen. But, if you do, you could always use the Custom URL screen and link to an online wiki. That would give people the ability to create and edit information directly in the app. Mark Comments Howdy, Thanks for the props on the Notepad Feature plugin! I appreciate it very much.

The HTML plugins are designed to 'display' output only, so there is not an edit function available. The nature of HTML is more for display than for User document editing. You might try working on a copy of the Notepad plugin to expand it slowly, as you learn. Cheers! -- Smug Comments The Notepad plugin is designed to allow user input, so it has an 'edit' button.

So the users should be able to put informations in this form. I could not find a way to ajust it in a word document and the same is in a custom Url text. But I have not enough experiences yet. Do you know an answer for this? Bye Comments Thanks, for the answers. The app has a form included. It is an accident report form. So the users should be able to put informations in this form.

It won't display an 'edit' button, but it will behave as traditional HTML forms on the web. You can have the HTML form either submit field values using a 'mailto' solution, or you can connect it to a server running PHP or other scripted host. Cheers! -- Smug Comments I'd use an HTML form.

They have tutorials on HTML, PHP, MySQL, and many of the 'side technologies' that apps use.
