Have a look at
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ which has lots of helpful
info (all set in a TiddlyWiki in the best traditions of bootstraps of
course!). There's a really good 3rd party technical manual at:
http://knighjm.googlepages.com/knightnet-default-tw.html#Reference
But to be honest the fact that you, by definition, get the source
included with the single file means the source ends up being the best
technical documentation.
One thing that caught me out was that iceweasel's 'File/Save Page As'
doesn't save the whole page. That means if you're looking at
someone's TW and use iceweasel to download it you don't get a working
wiki. Details are on the TW web site but apparently iceweasel/firefox
only saves a snapshot of the current state of the page rather than
the whole thing, thus losing some of the JavaScript. Could that
explain your non-functional input boxes?
