Francois,

As previously mentioned, the VisualWorks version of SeasideTesting supports testing applications "in browser" but currently under Firefox only.  I use this extensively but I must admit that it is a bit temperamental and performance is mediocre.  With those caveats I highly recommend it ;-)  Getting things working under Squeak would be an hour's work but I lack motivation because there seems to be little community interest in SeasideTesting these days.

For an alternative you might look at:

http://www.pharocasts.com/2010/08/web-application-testing-through.html

which uses Selenium RC thereby relying on a larger community for developing the Javascript side of things.  I'm guessing that you'll have fewer difficulties with this then with SeasideTesting but I've never used it myself.
