How to create a JavaScript "Try It Yourself” Editor


I know there are a number of "Try It Yourself" JavaScript editors, such as W3School's Try It editor , JSBin , and JSFiddle .



I'm developing a graphical JavaScript library that I'd like to let people try out from my own site (one difference from other editors is that my output would be to a canvas, not an HTML frame). Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, are there established ways for creating a "Try It Yourself" capability that consider issues like DOM-based scripting vulnerabilities?

  1. A simple design would be a start page with a form containing three textarea's and one iframe. The textarea's contain the html/css and javascript parts, and the iframe contains the result:

    <!--index.html-->
    <html>
    <form method="post" action="tryit-result.php" target="result">
    <button>Try it</button>
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td><textarea name="html"></textarea></td>
    <td><textarea name="css"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><textarea name="js"></textarea></td>
    <td><iframe src="tryit-result.php" name="result"></iframe></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    </html>


    The submit is then handled at the server by saving the html/css/scripts to file and then returning a page that references these files, something in the line of:

    <!--tryit-result.php-->
    <html>
    <head>
    <style type='text/css'>
    <?php echo file_get_contents('css contents')?>
    </style>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    $(function() {
    <?php echo file_get_contents('js contents')?>
    });
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php echo file_get_contents('html contents')?>
    </body>
    </html>

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
