E-on-JavaScript is an E implementation which compiles E to JavaScript code, suitable for running in web browsers.

It was designed to interoperate with [[Caja]], however it is not compatible with modern Caja so the rest of this paragraph is out of date. If cajita.js is also loaded, 
+
-
E code can call Cajita-tamed objects; also, the output of the compiler 
+
-
should be within the Cajita subset (I have not tested this). However, Cajita code can create objects which violate E [[sameness]] invariants.
+
-
 
+
-
It is as yet quite incomplete; especially, the compiler does not 
+
-
implement all of Kernel-E, and generates inefficient and verbose code.

It supports converting an Updoc document, or a HTML document with embedded Updoc, into a HTML document such 
+
-
that the tests are executed. [http://www.slimy.com/~kpreid/eojs/serve/vm.html A (stale) example].
+
-
 
+
-
Not-yet-executed tests have dashed bars to the left, successful tests 
+
-
have light gray bars, and unsuccessful tests have red bars and show 
+
-
the expected and actual values (which are not differentiated except by 
+
-
color; this is to be fixed).
+
-
 
+
-
As this particular Updoc example was borrowed from [[E-on-CL]], many of the tests fail 
+
-
because they are specific to E-on-CL in some way. Many other tests 
+
-
fail because in the demonstrated version there was no printing subsystem yet, so everything uses 
+
-
JS .toString() and thus the wrong syntax.
