Enum SandboxMode

An enum representing the sandbox modes that can be used for client-side HtmlService scripts. These values can be accessed from HtmlService.SandboxMode, and set by calling HtmlOutput.setSandboxMode(mode).

The NATIVE and EMULATED modes were deprecated on October 13, 2015 and both are now sunset. Only IFRAME mode is now supported.

To protect users from being served malicious HTML or JavaScript, client-side code served from HTML service executes in a security sandbox that imposes restrictions on the code. The method HtmlOutput.setSandboxMode(mode) previously allowed script authors to choose between different versions of the sandbox, but now has no effect. For more information, see the guide to restrictions in HTML service.

The IFRAME mode imposes many fewer restrictions than the other sandbox modes and runs fastest, but does not work at all in certain older browsers, including Internet Explorer 9. The sandbox mode can also be read in a client-side script by inspecting google.script.sandbox.mode. Note that this property returns the actual mode on the client, which may differ from the mode requested on the server if the requested mode is not supported in the user's browser.

<!-- Read the sandbox mode (in a client-side script). -->
<script>
  alert(google.script.sandbox.mode);
</script>

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`EMULATED`	`Enum`	A legacy sandbox mode that emulates ECMAScript 5 strict mode using only the features available in ECMAScript 3. This mode was the default prior to February 2014. `EMULATED` was sunset as of December 10, 2015. All scripts attempting use `EMULATED` will now use `IFRAME` instead.

This mode is the default for new scripts as of November 12, 2015 and for all scripts as of July 6, 2016. This mode imposes many fewer restrictions than the other sandbox modes and runs fastest, but does not work at all in certain older browsers, including Internet Explorer 9.
`NATIVE`	`Enum`	A sandbox mode that is built on top of ECMAScript 5 strict mode. A sandbox mode built on top of ECMAScript 5 strict mode. This mode was sunset as of July 6, 2016. All scripts now use `IFRAME` mode.
