You can type in the field above and press the button to execute OpenSocial code. This is a good place to copy and paste code examples for experimenting with the OpenSocial API.

In addition to the standard JavaScript and OpenSocial methods, you may also call the output method to print output text. output can take a variable number of arguments, so you can print several variables on the same line without needing to construct the string yourself. If you have firebug installed and enabled, output will also echo output to the firebug console.
