There is a "software tool for retrofiting graphical user interfaces
developed for CLIM (the Common Lisp Interface Manager), to run
dynamically through the World Wide Web." It has been made in around
1995, so it doesn't use fancy stuff like AJAX but HTML + GIFs with
image maps/active regions. See http://www.ai.sri.com/~pkarp/clim-www/tool.html
for more details. There is also a paper with the title "Adapting CLIM
Applications for Use on the World Wide Web" that is available on
that page.

The application they have "retrofitted" with this tool is still
online: http://ecocyc.org/server.html

Bye,
Max
