In addition to sage, which has R as one of its many engines, there are some
other possible options 
(with others not included here):

* RApache (http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/rapache/) allows one to mix R into
the web server
 allowing for pages generated by R. An example is
http://data.vanderbilt.edu/rapache/bbplot/. 
There are some projects using RApache that may interest you:

  * http://www.jeroenooms.com/ has some webapps built with RApace and extjs
  * the gWidgetsWWW package has some examples: 
    http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/gWidgetsWWW/run/ex-index
  

* http://www.r-live.org is basically an R terminal with graphics that can be used 
  through the web. A similar thing is provided by Rweb 
  (http://bayes.math.montana.edu/Rweb/Rweb.general.html).

* The Biocep project http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/ access 
  R servers over the cloud with a client
