By the way: That Exalted sheet looks Dope. Good job guys.
Fuhsaz - Looks like you got most of your questions answered. As to quick description, description, tags, etc - No, there are no tags for those as of yet. I'm unsure of how to handle them, as the "crunch" aspect of description is pretty much exactly what the dynamic sheets are for. Then again, I'm not sure anyone paid attention to the description = crunch and bio = fluff directions anyway.
Chainsaw - I'll look into the bug you mentioned with the existing character / new DST. Thanks for the detailed bug report.
To everybody thinking of making a sheet: I appreciate all the feedback. I'm probably going to take a break from DST feature additions for a while, as there are some other areas of the site that need some attention. So, if it doesn't do everything you want, I'd say try to relax your requirements a little and make things simpler. In most cases, *any* custom DST is better than the default generic sheet.

[edit: fyi]
I attempted to edit a character from my phone (G1) using Opera Mini. It viewed very well, but when attempting an edit with "Click to edit" I encountered odd behavior.
The browser refreshes the page after each mouse click or enter press. So, I clicked the "Click to edit" and got an edit box. I had to click the edit box in order to start typing. I then started typing. After successfully typing in the new information I had to hit enter or click the mouse to finish typing. Next, I would normally click the OK button. However, clicking out of the edit box caused the page to refresh, not just exiting me from the edit box, but removing everything I had typed, also causing the OK button to vanish. Opera Mini needs to fix this behavior. I searched for a workaround with various clicks and fast maneuvers, but eventually lost connection to the server.
Micah, I had planned to populate this with the contents of the github repository, but I don't want to risk desynchronization. Here are my thoughts:
* *javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js* (Fetch 1.4.2 from googleapis, as OP does.)
* *javascripts/jquery.jeditable-1.7.1.js* (Fetch from "OP":http://www.obsidianportal.com/javascripts/jquery.jeditable-1.7.1.js)
* *javascripts/namespace.js* (Can you edit the OP-hosted characters.js so it works without this? It just needs to create the aisleten namespace if it doesn't exist.)
* I could include the following in the new repository as an example:
** *index.html* (with some modifications)
** *dynamic_sheets/minimal4e/0.1/sheet.css*
** *dynamic_sheets/minimal4e/0.1/sheet.js*
** *example_data.js*
Thoughts?
Taking a quick look, I see that you have
*span class="dsf" id="ds_name"*
for your name field. This should be easy to fix.
Try this:
If I remember correctly, we should remove the id's, as they might interfere with DST integration, and micah has asked us not to use id's in our templates to avoid many other complications.
Next, change that span class to read *class="dsf dsf_name"* as the engine is looking for *dsf_the_field_name_goes_here.*
Another example: change *dsf power_stat_value* to *dsf dsf_power_stat_value*.
Fixing it doesn't solve my problem, unfortunately, and on my home machine it actually causes the template to lose track of the example data, but well, probably good to have fixed. Thanks!
Anyone got a notion as to why the editable fields still aren't showing?
Anyway, I think now my code at least does as the instructions suggest. It still doesn't work, which suggests my confidence is ill-placed, but anyway, I've reviewed and reviewed and it appears to be well-formed. It doesn't display quite the way I expect it to, but the worst issue is the un-appearing editable fields.
Thanks for all your help.
"Call of Cthulhu Dynamic Character Sheet, please!"

Anyone got any thoughts?
But that does make me think of conflicts - this came up recently when I was trying to update a module for Drupal actually - two things with the same name. I'm thinking there may be javascript additions beyond the jquery included in the devkit that are interfering. Do other sheets have variable names with hyphens? Or do they all use underscores?
Looks alright.
Hmm, you haven't got all the mandatory fields though, missing template author - dsf_dst_author
There's another thought - can you use class for dd elements to create inputs or can it only be for div and span?
On a much more basic note, fields aren't editable except when you are editing the character. I doubt it, but is is possible you're looking at the view mode, and just need to click the edit button?
Curufea: see, questions like "must all fields be divs and spans?" is the sort of thing I'd like an answer to, rather than having to blindly struggle with trial and error.
Chainsaw: good thought, but no.
