New information will NOT get downloaded (although the title of the screen ect will update, the actual custom html/text will not). Would love to see if someone could test this out. I am running the newest versions of the plugin and the server. David. Title Comments I saved some text, and in the app, when refreshing, shows simply a blank screen.

Note: anything actually PASTED into the screen, will seem like it saves, but will not. and in fact, will disappear from your screen after a page refresh in the server. Thats the bug's conclusion. :) David.

Is that not available in the plug-in? Comments On the custom HTML page in the buzztouch server it says IMPORTANT: Use the Source button in the editor toolbar to cut-n-paste raw html.

mrDavid BTMods.com Posts: 3936 Reg: May 21, 2011 San Diego, CA 51,910	12/21/11 02:14 PM (14 years ago) I assumed that means that your data wont look the same, as in, the paste wont save your formatting, bolding ect, which is fine. But both the raw html and the raw text (including in the source button) wont save if it is PASTED data. David.

Not sure if this is realized or not. Cutting and pasting HTML / Text / ANYTHING is never reliable, it just isn't. Word Processors and other editors on your PC are famous for injecting invisible formatting characters that are not web-safe. There really isn't an easy way to explain this. Bottom line, pasting in a browser based text-editor almost never works as expected if you're pasting anything more than plain text.

The data you paste is saved as an HTML Page in the applications /files/appId/documents directory. When you click save, that file should show up in that directory. The PATH to this HTML file should be loadable in your browser. If this isn't happening, it's not a bug, it's your server install.

I'm going to call this one a fluke on my end, maybe it had something to do with the server loggin me off so much, or just bad luck, either way, I have everything working the way I want now :) Thanks for testing it and for the responses!
