JavaScript Editor

Edit JavaScript in a live editor that shows the results of running JavaScript, CSS, and HTML

What is JavaScript Editor?
"JavaScript Editor" is a Chrome extension designed to make coding more hands-on and exciting. It offers a live editing environment, with features such as on-the-fly JavaScript and jQuery code completion and analysis. The extension provides warnings to rectify errors in real-time. The HTML Document Object Model (DOM) is refreshed automatically, presenting users with immediate results as they write their JavaScript, HTML, and CSS codes. This makes it a brilliant learning tool for budding programmers, and a streamlined workspace for experienced coders.
