    Does the Sandbox support pages using jQuery? When I try to insert a link for such a page into the Sandbox's sampler it tells me "This capability was disabled by the user."

    I believe jQuery at one point made use of the JavaScript with statement which we do not support.  I need to go back and investigate whether this was fixed.  If so, we should be able to support jQuery in the future. In general, when a script is disabled by the Sandbox it is attempting to do an unsupported operation.

    I also expect to release a pretty big update within the next week or two that should make the system much more flexible (the Html parser no longer require 100% well-structured HTML) as well as fix a bunch of other bugs.  I will try and find some time to investigate jQuery and see if there is anything I can quickly tweak to enable it.

    Hi Scott - 

    When do you expect the update to be released? 

    Are there plans to take it out of the labs and into the stack?  There are definitely needs for this type of product in the real world.   To deploy in the real world it definitely needs more work.  

    • To support a lot more sandbox functionality and proxying it would be great to be able to extend server side translation.  The most obvious being translating all the hrefs into custom urls so images, script and objects can be proxied.  This means the server side libraries will need to be hosted outside of Azure/Silverlight (although it is a great option).
    • jQuery support should be part of it now that it is part of the standard Microsoft stack.  It would make a lot things easier for many people.
    • Sandbox is a great lab idea.  But for the real world is widget standard support part of a longer vision?  Obviously support for most common gadget apis would be great (yahoo, google, microsoft).  Widgets can fundamentally change the distribution unit of today's web - from pages and 3rd party frameworks (java, flash, silverlight) - to smaller standards conforming programs that can run on any page.  W3C widget standard or any other standard setting body can help change the web (if ever so slightly).   Sandbox can fill a very good need until all the browsers catch up.   I not too hopeful on the product part, have you guys thought of releasing this into the wild?  

    You can contact me off the list.
