Make IronSudoku Javascript Magic

February 7th, 2007 · 2 Comments

NOTE: The IronSudoku Javascript works in the Firefox web browser and IE7.

IronSudoku is a great sudoku site based on Javascript and DHTML. It’s a lot of fun and allows you to “pencil in” little numbers that are possible for a box, usually green for possibles and red for impossibles. Left-click a box and a little grid pops up with “1″ through “9″ for you to choose your answer for that box or hold down shift and click the number to get a green penciled-in number, or alt click to get the red variant.

Enter User Javascript

Javascript is a scripting language that has been a part of web browsers for years and is only getting more popular. Most modern websites make use of at least some Javascript. An interesting side effect of deep browser support is that they will run a Javascript script from the address bar, given that it is preceded with the keyword “javascript:”. It will execute the script commands immediately. Given a script, you can simply copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into your browser’s address field.

It so happens that a Javascript has been floating around to auto-fill the greens in IronSudoku. A tuned version is below. You can simply copy the following script to the clipboard by selecting it with your mouse, pressing Control-C on Windows systems or Command-C on Macs. Then with IronSudoku open in another window or tab of your browser, clear the address bar (where it says http://www.ironsudoku.com) and press Control-V (or Command-V on Macs) to paste the script. Then hit Enter/Return.

Click “Continue Reading” to read more and get the scripts.
