About HTML Editor
A browser-based HTML code editor with live preview rendered in a sandboxed iframe. Includes three starter templates (basic HTML5, responsive layout, contact form), auto-formatting that indents tags by nesting depth, undo/redo history, and structural validation that checks for DOCTYPE, html, head, body, and title tags. A stats bar shows character count, line count, tag count, and file size in bytes.
- Live preview uses a sandboxed iframe (allow-same-origin) that updates as you type
- Validation checks for DOCTYPE, <html>, <head>/<body> completeness, and <title> presence
- Auto-formatter splits adjacent tags onto separate lines and indents by nesting depth
- Three templates: Basic HTML5 skeleton, Responsive (with CSS media queries), and Contact Form
- Download exports as a text file; character/line/tag/byte stats update in real time
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I run JavaScript in the preview?
- The iframe uses sandbox=\"allow-same-origin\" without allow-scripts, so JavaScript won’t execute. This is a deliberate safety measure. The editor is for HTML and CSS preview only.
- Is the preview sandboxed from the main page?
- Yes. The preview renders inside an iframe with a srcdoc attribute, which isolates it from the parent page. Your experimental HTML and CSS cannot break the tool interface or leak styles into the surrounding page.
