It sounds like what you want is WeirdX - http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/ -
which is a Java based X server that will run in a browser under any
platform supporting Java - including Microsoft Windows.

This will do what you want: allow an X Windowing System client application
to use a browser as an X Windowing System server.
