CodeRunner

CodeRunner is an OpenSocial gadget that allows you to execute JavaScript calls against the container that it is installed in, without having to install or update a gadget XML file. CodeRunner is great for testing code snippets and mocking out test applications.

Install

Install CodeRunner on sandbox.orkut.com

Current Version

CodeRunner has been updated to be OpenSocial 0.7 compatible. Currently, it is only being tested in Orkut's sandbox.

Here is a link to the lastest version of CodeRunner

Instructions

Printing output

Use the output() function to print output to the application. If you have Firebug installed, output() also prints to Firebug's console, meaning you can view complex objects.

Creating DOM

There is a DOM node with an ID of dom_handle in CodeRunner that is intended for being a hook for inserting more DOM nodes into the document. The following code inserts a new text node as a child of the handle.

var handle = document.getElementById("dom_handle");
var childNode = document.createTextNode("text goes here");
handle.appendChild(childNode);
