I built something similar which used AppleScript and an application
called clip2gif by Yves Piguet, which is scriptable.  You can make the
calls to it via AppleScript, and then use the result in your WWW page.
I do all my Mac-scripted graphics stuff using this utility, and I highly
recommend it.

For more information, see the following URL:

Good luck-
