Stereoscope http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0000828/3d/sapplet_en.html
is a Java applet that can also use the jps format.  You can either input
jps or two images (right and left).  Rather than the end user having to
"install" the plug-in like Depthcharge, the page designer puts the Java
code in the html.  It's a nice little applet worth a looksee.

Stereoscope and Depthcharge both allow the end user to select their
preferences for how the images are displayed.  So, you can set it to
display as parallel (my personal preference), cross-eye, a variety of
anaglyph styles (including Boris' TRUE COLOR anaglyphs in Stereoscope),
or in shutter glasses format.  I don't have the URL for Detonator,
another applet of this type (I seem to recall it having a variety of
views also but not interlace).

Of course, your mileage varies.
