Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include CSS and JavaScript?
Yes. Add <style> blocks for CSS and <script> blocks for JavaScript directly inside your HTML.
Can I load external resources like CDN libraries?
Yes. External stylesheets and scripts referenced by URL are fetched and rendered normally.
Is code sent to a server?
No. Your HTML is rendered in a sandboxed <iframe> inside your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Can I test responsive layouts?
Yes. Resize the browser window and the preview reflects the change without needing to re-run.
