I maintain a Wordpress blog. However, I write entries using a different iPad app (WritingKit) then translate the result to HTML before placing it in the blog (Textastic, of course). It surely would save me a lot of effort were I able to copy from WritingKit and paste into Textastic. Heck, I thought I could. But I tried the other day, and you know how assumptions turn out. Dang! So I'd truly appreciate a little help. 

I have been trying to use <video> and <audio> tags but then while they play respective videos and audio as website, they won't play on Textastic local mode. It could be certain combination of tags but after hours of troubleshooting, I haven't been able to figure this out. Is there known facts about media?

I'm having a REALLY weird bug that is spoiling my morning... 

I have these two files:

- test.html

- js/waterbug.js

I've done this a dozen times now, and whenever I:

1) edit the JS file

2) navigate up the tree back to the HTML file and hit preview,

upon hitting "done" and returning to the editor the HTML file is overwritten with the contents of the JS file.

If I'm editing the JS file, when I return to it just after preview it gets overwritten with the contents of the HTML file.

It's really weird and unsettling, plus I've lost a bunch of changes already - even though the JS file is saved on my SFTP server, the HTML file wasn't...

Are you planning to implement CSS3 and HTML 5 in Textastic ?

 Thanks for this app thought, it's a must-have. But with this, it would be greater.

It seems that Textastic does not switch encoding neither from current file menu nor from wrench one.

I have some files with Windows CP-1251 encoding. Switching between different encoding options have no visual effect. Also after applying changes encoding remains utf-8.

Switching between fonts doesn't take any effect.

What i'm doing wrong?

I like to be able to see all my text in the window unconstructed as I'm working on it. I would rather pull up the line/column thingy when I need it, instead of having the extra noise all the time.

I I file is open and you delete the folder that it is in (local folder) the file doesn't close. It stays open. Think it should close like it does when I file is deleted.

If you then use the option in the upper right corner to upload the file it blanks out the file on the server then gives you an error. Luckily for me I had a back up. :^ )

 Loving Textastic – absolutely brilliant. I've coded a small website on a local MAMP server on my Mac tower (10.7). I would now like to edit these files using   Textastic on my iPad. Is this possible? I can't seem to get a server connection to the MAMP, but then I don't have a lot of experience with MAMP. I am able to preview the site on the iPad browser though so I know MAMP is working fine.
