Thanks for your help Jonathan :)

Do you have any idea where the variables title, body etc is set? (before :title is called?) in the notes module? I have examined the file add-edit.tcl in the notes module, and I can not understand how the code:

template::element create new_note body 

    -widget textarea  

    -datatype text  

    -label "Body" 

    -html { rows 10 cols 40 wrap soft } 
 
    -value $body

actually sets the variable 'body'.

From my understanding, '-widget textarea' defined in widget- procs.tcl only displays the textarea and its content (from database). How does the file notes/www/add-edit.tcl get the new content in the body textarea inputed by the user?

thanks :)
