Interactive Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem

I have always been intrigued by proofs without words, and I have been learning how to use GeoGebra to create dynamic geometry applets. Here is a web applet that allows the user to demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem by  moving right triangles within a large square. Comments or suggestions are welcome. Click on the picture to launch the applet.
