Yep, JsFiddle is brilliant. There are a few others too. http://jsbin.com - Not as many features as JsFiddle and the preview is on a separate page. The HTML/CSS/JS isn't kept completely apart either. http://cssdesk.com - Primarily for CSS/HTML. Preview is automatically updated. http://mootools.net/shell/ - Similar but more Mootools-centric; fewer features etc than JsFiddle.

You can see your results on their own page by appending /show to a saved fiddle, see:

http://jsfiddle.net/amadeus/5y5nE/show/

Also, it's recommended to use jsFiddle over Mootools Shell, since MooShell is essentially a really old version of jsFiddle, and will eventually be removed from mootools.net

I was aware that you can see the results on their own page. What I meant was that not having to switch between views is one of jsfiddle's strengths over jsbin. Edited my earlier reply to remove the misleading 'but'.

Thanks for the info about MooShell. I don't use it but wasn't aware it was to be killed off.

I also wrote one like 3/4 years ago, I primarily wanted to make it easy to just paste an existing html page into it

How amazingly cool is this!

http://jsfiddle.net/michaelsbradleyjr/sZUtU/

I had not really tinkered with flapjax on the client-side until tonight, but jsfiddle sparked my instincts to really fiddle with something I had been delaying fiddling (or "tinkering") with.

So, thank you, jsfiddle! I think you're going to make for a powerful creativity enhancer. :-D

Would be nice to have a preloaded example - i had to look at the screen for half a minute just to sort out all the elements that don't make immediate sense if there's not context that you're accustomed to..

Here you go: http://jsfiddle.net/derek/Vjxt2/

Cool! Showing a twitter feed using YQL is a great example. Is there a gallery somewhere of cool javascript widgets?

jsfiddle is really good. I like the auto indenting feature it is doing pretty well. One small feature request :) it would be better if it shows error some box or some thing. So it would be easy to quickly rectify instead of going through the syntax check somewhere else.
