407 with whitespace as mentioned by others. As for how it works:

- There are textareas for each language

- Through event bubbling, one can listen to events on all of those with just 1 handler

- Elements with an `id` attribute have a corresponding property in the `window` (global scope), so you don't need to query for them.

With those facts, the code just listens to every change on any field, and assembles a (technically invalid, but in practice functional) HTML snippet, which is just:

    (contents of the HTML box)
    <style>(contents of the CSS box)</style>
    <script>(contents of JS box)</script>
And pastes it into the iframe's content.

Not particularly efficient, but pretty good for <400b
