Vinoth, to allow a user to type in tamil on your website you might want to take a look at the tamilsg api

Usage: Copy & paste the following anywhere in the body tag of your php website and replace textareaid with the appropriate textarea id.

<script type="text/javascript">
var poplo =new Array("textareaid");
ENABLED_TIWEB = "http://api.tamilsg.com/data/lookuptable.js";
var fileref = document.createElement('script');
fileref.src = "http://api.tamilsg.com/hplus.js";
document.documentElement.appendChild(fileref);
</script>
