Put this on your own site

The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

Preview

How it works

Source text is placed into an isolated document, with optional sandboxing and console output captured from the frame. The preview uses browser parsing and layout but does not publish files or grant server access.

  • An iframe separates experiments from the host page.
  • Sandbox permissions remain explicit.

Worked example

Styled card component
Preview an HTML fragment with inline styles as a full document
Input
											<style>body{font-family:sans-serif;display:flex;justify-content:center;padding:2rem}.card{border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;padding:1.5rem;max-width:300px}</style>
<div class="card">
  <h2>Welcome</h2>
  <p>This is a card component preview.</p>
</div>
Output
												<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<style>body{font-family:sans-serif;display:flex;justify-content:center;padding:2rem}.card{border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;padding:1.5rem;max-width:300px}</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="card">
  <h2>Welcome</h2>
  <p>This is a card component preview.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

When to use this

Learning examples, component prototypes, and reduced bug reproductions run in a playground.

Edge cases

  • Parent access can fail in a sandbox.
  • External resources may be blocked by policy.
  • An infinite loop can freeze the frame until it is reset.
