Some of the features (Spellcheck, use of IFrames and preview) requires that you lower your browsers security settings. Don't lower the security settings for your internet-zone. Either include www.tabula.biz in your trusted sites zone and lower the security settings for that zone, or download a test-version of Tabula and try it out locally.

Tabula is integrated in a HTML-form with a few lines of code. Here is an example on how to do it. The complete documentation can be found here.

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="TabulaPath/tabula.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="TabulaPath/tabula.js"></script>
.
</head>
<body>
.
.
.
<form action="dosomething.asp" method="post">
<textarea id="MyText"> blah, blah...</textarea>
<script language="javascript">
var objMyText = new createTabula('MyText',width,height,configfile,trusted,fullscreen);
</script>
</form>
.
.
.
</body>
</html>

TabulaPath is the path to the directory where Tabula lives. The path can be either absolute eller relative to the html-file, including Tabula.
MyText is the id of the textarea, that Tabula should replace. Husk that it is case-sensitive.
width is width in pixels of Tabula
height is the height in pixels of Tabula
configfile er path-name of the configuration-file
trusted is a flag ('yes'/'no'), that indicates whether Tabula should be run as a trusted ActiveX component or not. If Tabula runs in trusted mode, it will be able (if your browser settings permits it) to read from and write to disk.
fullscreen is as flag('yes'/'no'), that indicates whether Tabula should be run in fullscreen mode or not.

Depending on where you place Tabula's home-folder and what .htm (.asp) file that uses Tabula, you may need to change the <stylesheet> path in tabula_config.asp. Also you may need to change path's to external URL's in tabula_external.js. That is the four lookup-URL's in the top of tabula_external.js and GetDBValue.asp in line 11.
