I know there has been some confusion around when an account is in the
sandbox and when it isn't. There are a number of reasons. Sometimes
the "Welcome to the iGoogle Developer sandbox" message is obscured.
Sometimes developers are confused about the behavior of the google.com/
ig/sandbox page (which acts as a toggle, not just a redirect). And
sometimes, sandbox features aren't working properly, so even if you
are in the sandbox, it looks like you aren't.
I've written a small gadget: http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/117067035338337527472/san... to try and provide a little heads up on the sandbox status. If you're
in the sandbox, it lets you know and gives you a quick way to leave.
If you're not, it gives you a quick way to enter (but you still have
to click through the form). And, finally, if it thinks you are in the
sandbox, but features don't seem to be working, it tells you that,
too.
The exact behavior relies on the current rollout of features (and
using the .com TLD), so it will likely need an update down the road as
launches occur. Please test it, add it to your pages, and check the
status message it gives if things aren't working properly. Let me know
if it's not working (but it should).
is there a way to enter igoogle sandbox for google apps own domain
account? i have try add this gadget but when enter it it go to normal
google account login.

Any way to have the sandbox linked to your account. If I've left the
sandbox and try to re-enter I have to fill in the iGoogle Sandbox Sign
Up form again. This form seems to let you enter just about anything.
I wonder how many people enter valid data on this form?

When the sandbox was first introduced, it was revealed that you can
just click through the form without entering anything. I'd recommend
entering your correct details the first time as a courtesy, but after
that, just click the "Sign Up" button.
I don't think the checks for OpenSocial will work if the gadget is
inlined, so unfortunately I have to leave it in an iframe. Ideally,
there would be an actual interface in the sandbox for status/leaving,
but that's not the highest priority at the moment.
Thanks,
Dan

That's on my plate, not sure when I'll get to it. The change should be
relatively simple, as the prod sandbox iframe URL nicely
differentiates itself from the non-prod version.
