The code highlighting and indentation is pretty good. Sure beats Stack Overflow's editing experience

This seems pretty amazing, but I guess there's no way around letting users work on arbitrary JavaScript and XSS? http://jsfiddle.net/wk7sK/

We use different domain for displaying fiddles.

What does it mean by "normalized CSS"?

From here: http://doc.jsfiddle.net/api/post.html?highlight=normalized , given this: > normalize_css: yes or no - should normalize.css be loaded before any CSS declarations? I'm guessing it's an external CSS file, probably to enforce consistency between browsers. Haven't looked at it, though - just assuming. "normalize" is nowhere else in the documentation, oddly enough.

The checkbox has been just added few days ago. Before it wasn't optional. Just written the doc http://doc.jsfiddle.net/basic/introduction.html#normalize-cs...

They could put all executed code in a cookie-less domain, that way it can't access any private resources on your behalf (modulo XSS bugs on other sites). This is what the Google code playground does: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/

They use the same editor engine

I just realized it could be great if stackoverflow.com would integrate with this site's API, so web development questions would get a better platform for posting the "code/markup in question" and getting answers that way as well.

We're writing beta and there API will get more useful
