To add to the FAQ that Dirk quotes:

The Sage project has an online "notebook" server at sagenb.org that allows one
to use numerous open source math programs including R. Sage can be installed
locally as well. (The R feature seems to be broken at the moment though, but it
does work on a local install.)

The gWidgetsWWW package (needs testing still) provides an interface to Rpad that
you could use to quickly create a web page to interpret R commands, e.g. the
simplistic http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/gWidgetsWWW/ex-cli.html. However,
graphics are easier done using Rpad, than gWidgetsWWW.
