At http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822 I reported a bug about
not being able to select text from the source code in pages like
http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/#example~Atom_3.html

This is a pain when you want to get examples for use in your code. You
have to dig down into actual files to find exactly where the demo code
came from. Not easy for me - how is a novice going to have any chance?

The simple option is to allow selection. Another possible way would be to
have a popup window which had the unformatted text in an edit box,
allowing selection for copying.

The next natural step, and something which would be very useful: is there
any way of allowing the Javascript to be edited locally so that users can
try out little changes to the demos to see what effect they will have?

This is possible in the standard wxPython demo application and is a great
way of learning that product.

I'm not sure how easy it would be, or even if it's possible. You would
have to change the source of an iframe perhaps using document.write. An
important provision is being able to return to the original source code.
