[etoys-dev] Thanks for your inquiry from OER Glue!

[Bert Freudenberg]

Well it's just a regular browser plugin triggered by the "application/x-squeak-source" MIME type (or an OCX control for Internet Explorer). The "src" argument points to an Etoys project. 

Here is an example, one of Steve's own projects:

	http://squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=7744

Clicking "launch" opens a new window with the plugin showing the project. The actual plugin embed code is generated using JavaScript to deal with platform differences.
