JS Sandbox anywhere?

Hi there,

I'm just getting started prodding at the custom JavaScript section (as it seems quite powerful) and was just wondering if there's any way to access a sandbox of some sort rather than having to do live testing.

We currently cover nearly 24 hours a day so there isn't any really viable time to work with it live, without possibly affecting employees..

Cheers,
Michael

   No, but you can just make a new trial site. I can throw it on the unlimited plan if you continually are using it.

   We are currently transitioning the forums from prototype on the frontend to jquery, which you can access with jQuery instead of the normal $ -- and the dashboard is all already jquery. So obviously if you can base your code around jq instead of prototype that'd be awesome.

   Hi Courtenay,

   Thanks for the speedy response!

   I'll make a trial site with the 14 day free trial in a bit and get started! (If I'm not done by christmas I'll get back to you on that offer - although I could just as well create a new trial, albeit maybe a tad redundant I suppose..)

   I'm well versed with jQuery and prefer using it to prototype so that works out great for me! Appreciate the heads up! :)

   Thanks for the help!

   Cheers,
   Michael

   We're also implementing knockout across the frontend, so that's another library available to you if you're careful not to step on anything. ^_^ Also, let us know if you need programmatic access to any of the data - we can probably expose some APIs or let you know what they are.
