Yes, this works.
There are two modes for this.
First, you can run Squeak inside a web browser. Look at
www.squeakland.org for a quick installation. You have a Squeak image
and VM (as a browser plugin), and then you can run Squeak projects
that are on the net.
Second, you can load and run external projects.
You're probably safer using the browser plugin, though; there's a
security model that it implements that makes it more difficult to
damage anything on your machine.
