You might also consider Jmol (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/) which visualizes
structures using Java (JRE http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp) in
browsers such as IE, firefox etc...
It has a quite nice scripting system to automate things.
We use it to display 3D structures but also atomic charges in web pages...
See an example http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lbpd/RED/
