jQueryPad is a fast JavaScript and HTML editor. Just start it, enter the HTML you want to work with, bash in your jQuery code, and hit F5 to see the results. Say goodbye to ALT+TAB.
jQueryPad is xcopy deployable. It's written in WPF and uses the Web Browser Control to embed Internet Explorer for testing the script. When you press F5, the HTML and JavaScript are combined into one file and rendered. The template also references jQuery, so the jQuery functions are available.
If you want to use a different version of jQuery or reference other files, just replace the files in the Templates directory.
Hope you find it useful - feature suggestions are welcome.

We are running jQueryPad on Windows XP SP3. The application fails to open, after throwing a System.IO.FileFormatException.

Hi Michael,
I suspect you might not have .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed - can you verify this?

Hi Paul,
Getting an exception on startup. Here's the details:
I'm running Vista, with .NET 3.5 SP 1 installed. I also have VS 2010 beta installed with the .NET 4 beta (if that has anything to do with it).

I believe the bug may have been to do with this connect issue. I've changed the icon to an XP compatible one - can you try it out?
Dan
Hi,
You have to delete the folders created when running the scrips.. I see that when ever I hit F5, a new one is created here: file:///C:/Users/daniel/AppData/Local/jQueryPad/
Or at least, use the same folder per session..
Other than that, the tool is quite nice and handy.

Looks promising however is there anything like this for Mac OSx Snow Leopard?
Vladimir

Looks look a great tool!
I'm running window 7 and have run jQueryPad in XP compatibility mode (SP2 and SP3) and also natively in W7. The app hangs while I'm editing in the HTML window. I can get to have everytime
The program will hang (not respond).

Hi Tony, thanks for reporting that bug. It is due to the text editor component I'm using - if the language is HTML it caused it to crash. I've changed it to XML and re-released (just download it again) - this seems to fix the problem.

Look very nice , can you have Silverlight version ?
happy developer
That is awesome! The only thing, that can make this tool even more cool is intellisense... :-)

Thanks Paul for this excellent tool. We were introduced to it at one of the sessions at Microsoft Tech Ed New Zealand, and I'm glad I've managed to find it. My team here uses it extensively now to allow them to play with jquery.
Regards Dee ps. I second the request for intellisense ;-)

This is what I get:

When I launch jQueryPad on Windows 7 Ultimate I can't seem to edit text in either of the text boxes. I'm guessing that when I open jQueryPad it should have the same HTML and script as the screenshot above?
When I open jQueryPad I get the following and when I place the editor carat in either of the textboxes my edits disappear. Here's a screenshot of jQueryPad when it starts:

Hi Paul Got JqueryPad installed and can't wait to get going with it. Came across your web site by pure coincidence. I didn't realize there was such software out there. Anyway, when I try to open jquerypad I get a friendly but not so helpful message saying: "JqueryPad has stopped working". "Check online for a solution and close the program" and "Close the program" I am still a web design student so "checking online" is not an option because I know from experience that I will just get bogged down in post # 1004582987@#$ in one of only 3 or 4 million MSDN forums available and I will be totally lost. So I need help from from an expert like you. Btw, here is a list of error messages I also get every time I try to open jquerypad:

I am not sure what they all mean or what I should do about it. I run Vista Home Edition and have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. Paul, your help would be appreciated because I think your software fills a vital gap in a web designer's tool box. Thank you in advance. Jurgen
