Hi Ikem,
I believe you are looking for Seaside. Seaside supports Ajax. Have a look
at www.seaside.st . You get all the JavaScript you want plus more!
Hmm, I was just reading your email more carefully. So to be clear this
would give you the ability to use an external browser to access a Squeak
Server running Seaside. That browser can then access squeak, render
widgets, windows, google maps...
You can "embed" an external browser into squeak by using a RFB window
running in Squeak, but this only gives you VNC like capabilities (which
means you need to have a browser running on a server for each connection).
There is also Dan's work which allows you to run squeak in JavaScript:

ueak-in-javascript/
but again this may be opposite of what you are asking. If indeed you need
to control Google maps on a widget in Squeak you might have to write the
conversation yourself.
Oh and I found this, but I've never used it so your mileage may vary.

Happy Coding!
