[Caja] Syntax error when following example code

[j***@lifelink.com]

I'm following the "Running Plain Javascript" example in the documentation.

Instead of referencing an external URL, I'm passing in a javascript string:

caja.load(undefined, undefined, function(frame) {
frame.code('return function f(x) { return 1; }', 'application/javascript')
.run();
});

I'm getting:

*Uncaught SyntaxError: Failed to parse program: SyntaxError: Unexpected
token (1:15) in source: "return function f(x) { return 1; }" at line: -1*

The API reference documentation appears to be broken or moved, so I'm
having trouble digging into the exact issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Justin

What happens if you remove the "return"?

There's no index.html in
https://github.com/google/caja/tree/master/doc/cajajs
and the developer page still points at the old site.

Here's a recentish version of the API I found on archive.org.

In particular, there's this snippet:
-------------------
Running guest JavaScript from content

The following code in a host page:

/* host page code */
caja.initialize({ cajaServer: 'http://caja.appspot.com' });
caja.load(
undefined, // no DOM access
undefined, // no network access
function(frame) {
frame.code(
'http://example.com/default.js', // dummy URL
'application/javascript',
'(x + y);') // input source code
.api({ x: 3, y: 4 })
.run(function(result) {
alert(result);
});
});

will run the provided source, pass it the supplied values of x and y,
and alert the result of the computation, which would be the number 7.
-------------------

so it looks like what you need to do is move the source code parameter
to the end, make sure it's a valid program, and give it a dummy URL in
the first slot.
