HTML Try It Your Self Editor with Java backend

I am inspired from w3schools try it yourself editor. It is better to give an option to users to try themselves.
This below Try It Your Self editor was built upon HTML, JavaScript and Java. You can find the below diagram for program flow.

DEMO - Try It Your Self Editor

Download Eclipse project

Text Area to Edit Code :

<textarea class="code_input" id="textareaCode" wrap="logical" rows="30" cols="50">
...
</textarea>

Form to Submit the code to Server :

Here the "target" attribute was specified as "view" so the output of this form will be displayed in "view" named iframe.

<form style="margin:0px;display:none;" action="/TryItYourSelf" method="post" target="view" id="tryitform" name="tryitform" onsubmit="validateForm();">
        <input type="hidden" name="code" id="code" />
        <input type="hidden" id="bt" name="bt" />
</form>

iframe for displaying result :

<iframe id="iframeResult" class="result_output" frameborder="0" name="view" src="/angular-jquery/expressions_a.html"></iframe>

JavaScript for validating form :

function validateForm()
{
var code=document.getElementById("code").value;
if (code.length>8000)
    {
    document.getElementById("code").value="<h1>Error</h1>";
    }
}

JavaScript for submitting form to server :

function submitTryit()
{
 var t=document.getElementById("textareaCode").value;
 t=encodeURI(t);
 document.getElementById("bt").value="1";
 document.getElementById("code").value=t;
 document.getElementById("tryitform").action="/TryItYourSelf?x=" + Math.random();
 validateForm();
 document.getElementById("tryitform").submit();
}

Java Servlet to read and write the code :

Here we have to set "X-XSS-Protection" and "Content-Security-Policy" as 0 unless it will throw security exceptions and script wont run.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class TryItYourSelf extends HttpServlet {
       
    public TryItYourSelf() {
        super();
    }

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String code = request.getParameter("code");
        response.setHeader("X-XSS-Protection", "0");
        response.setHeader("Content-Security-Policy", "0");
        PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
        pw.print(java.net.URLDecoder.decode(code, "UTF-8"));
        pw.flush();
    }

}

Conversion of PSD into website usually takes for professional about 8 hours for homepage and some more time for other additional pages. For novice in PSD to CSS conversion it may take several days to create a HTML.coding image example
