Right now you can only share the link to the dabblet. It would be great if you could share the dabblet via twitter/facebook/whatever, and via an iframe.

You can add extra button with the dropdown after the one for save, so it would be easy to share.

I've created a dabblet with demo how it looks now if you'd place dabblet as it is in an iframe (along with the jsfiddle one): http://dabblet.com/gist/1485587.

It's already somewhat usable, however there are some things that you could improve here:

1. You can detect if the dabblet is embedded, so you won't need to create an extra page or whatever just for embedding.
2. I think, that on embedding it must show the result by default, however, it would be cool if you could change this in settings. So, the ideal situation: you can set the view mode for stand-alone dabblet and for embedded one as different settings, so there would be no need in cloning the dabblet just for sharing the result.
3. Right now the background of dabblet is transparent, I think that can be cool in some cases, and that must be saved, so you could embed it in any design.
4. I think, that in embedded variant, the header must be smaller, with lesser items and always shown, without need to hover it. You can make remove the login, saving and help buttons, and make everything else smaller, plus the new button to see the dabblet at a separate window.
