This script is the way Web pages access the Twitter display plugin. It delivers fully formatted HTML with a list of recent tweets and supporting values for use by site.js after the page loads.

If you try running this script directly in a browser, you will see an unformatted set of HTML. To use this script, you need to create a Web page that also loads default.css, the jQuery library, and site.js. It is essential that the line loading jQuery comes before the line for site.js. index.html is an example of doing this correctly. Running this in a browser shows a formatted set of tweets with a Javascript-driven UI.
