First off, here’s the notebook:

> **[Input TextArea Box for Free Form Region Arithmatic](https://observablehq.com/@ccnlog/input-textarea-box-for-free-form-region-arithmatic)**
>
> An Observable notebook by CCN/CDN/LOG.

Now, `url` outputs as text because that’s exactly what it is. There’s probably no reason to display that, though. I guess that you _would_ like to show the lovely 3D output but, to do so, you’ll have to name it. Thus, you should replace

```
html`<iframe width='500' height='400' src='${url}' frameborder='0'></iframe>`

```

with

```
lovely_3d_output = html`<iframe width='500' height='400' src='${url}' frameborder='0'></iframe>`

```

Then, after you republish it, you should choose to display `viewof query` and `lovely_3d_output` from the handy embed code generator.

Dear Prof Mc Clure

You heard the phrase:

“This ain’t your first rodeo!”

You have done this before ha ha ha, thanx

Now it works.

I keep forgetting to click on the Wolfram Cloud Objects to edit code in Observable.

Thank you
