I have a spread sheet that does some statistical calculations for
educationl researchers. I want user to actaully be able to run the
spreadsheet in the tiddler. I have the spreadsheet located in my
google docs directory. I am able to embed it and it is static, but I
want to find out how users can actaully run it. Is this possible?

thanks

I believe that's something you should ask the Google Docs folks.
In this regard, TiddlyWiki is no different from a regular website; you
just want to embed an interactive version of your document.

I think you may need something to get inline HTML to work;

Than put this in your tiddler

<html><div align="center"><iframe src="http://url" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600"></iframe></div></html>

Now go to a Google Docs document and open it. Then Copy its address from the browser address line and place it in the place above "http://url".

This may have problems but it looks good, test fully. Closing and exiting the GoogleDoc seems to break out of tiddlywiki.

However it may be a lead.

You can also get this functionality via Eric Shuman's mini browser:

Including various controls.

The question is, either way, what do you gain over simply opening a
separate browser tab? Oh wait, IE doesn't have tabs, right?

So in the case of IE6 it would open another browser window. Later
versions of IE have tabs.
And in some cases this is prefered as I can put two windows next to
each other, so I can see the data I am copying from one window to the
other. I can't do that with tabs (Actually I think there is a plugin
that allows this...but is that for Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE7-8 or
Safari?)

What does he gain? The perception that it is all one piece.
You might as well ask why people embed videos into a blog post, rather
then just have it take you to the site that is hosting the file
(YouTube, etc)? It is a matter of looks, perception and keeping people
on the task at hand (or in some cases, on the website)

Incidentally,

I have IE 6 on my work computer (No Tabs), and some times need it for our Human Resource Systems.

I use FireFox (Portable) for my tiddlywiki's and the  "IE Tabs" firefox plugin which allows all nominated URL patterns to open in an IE6 tab within FF. Great Stuff.

I also found the FF Plugin "Its all text", which allows you to open a text edit field (read tiddler in edit mode) in your prefered editor. This can be a good way to get the second window, as is Google Notes installed in both IE and FF.
