Unsure about NS, but under IE5 you can type JavaScript expressions directly
into the address bar (as if entering a URL), but prefixed with
"javascript:". For example, type this in:
javascript: 1+2
then hit ENTER; IE5 echoes back
javascript:%201+2
in the address bar and displays
3
in the main window. Unfortunately(?), vrbl assignments do not persist, so
you're really limited to a single line of expressions:
javascript: x=3; y=4; x*x+y*y
So the answer to your question is "no" <wink>. However, as with the Python
shell, it's a convenient way to see what a line of JS does.
