The initial version of Caja is server-side (there may be client-side
versions later), so to do what you want, you'd have to bounce the Caja
code into a server that compiled it for you and sent it back, before
you ran it.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, though, if someone is prepared to deploy
a server that can take the load.
