If you want to display the value, create a div and write to it like
so.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="HTML Sandbox" />
<UserPref name="code" display_name="code" datatype="string"
default_value="code" />
<Content type="html">
<![CDATA[
<div id="myDiv"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var prefs = new _IG_Prefs(__MODULE_ID__);
_gel("myDiv").innerHTML = prefs.getString("code");
</script>
]]>
</Content>
</Module>
