Not sure what you mean. The web server serves a page with html code to  
embed an object with the application/x-squeak-source MIME type, and  
some parameters. The user's browser embeds the plugin, which in turn  
starts Squeak, which loads the image and runs it. In the case of  
Etoys, the image uses the passed arguments to download another file  
(the Etoys project) and shows that.

That depends on the image that is installed. In the Etoys image we  
hide the tools by default but you can still access them using Alt- 
Shift-W.

Go to squeakland.org and download Etoys to try.
