There might be software out there that can do exactly what you want out of
the box, but my approach would be to use any UML editor to produce an XMI
file, then XSLT to transform that into whatever HTML/JavaScript/whatever
representation you want. You could start here:
http://www.objectsbydesign.com/projects/xmi_to_html.html
and tweak their style sheets if they don't give you just what you want.
If that doesn't help, drop me a line off-list -- I can probably help you
with this approach or suggest other approaches to try.

The ABM component in Babbage will have support for this, but it's just
vaporware at the moment.
