Integrating Javascript Command Shell Into a Web Browser?

Question

I would like to implement the Javascript command shell in the browser for the user to be able to press a ‘run code’ button to execute the code right in the browser (like code sandbox in Eloquent Javascript):

Are there any libraries that I can use to implement it?

Many thanks!

I don't think that you need a library to do what you want. You can simply read the code from the DOM element and then pass it to the eval() function to run it; see here for an example: http://www.danielsadventure.info/Javascript/Javascript.html

<input
    type='button'
    value='Run Code'
    onclick="eval(document.getElementById('txtCode').value);" />

Sorry, I am new in StackOverflow and not sure where is this checkmark. Would you be so kind to share a screenshot?

You could use JQuery terminal. It's quite flexible. Take a look specially to this example.
