I spent a few minutes looking at this.  Most of the examples look like
many Sage interacts - sliders controlling plots or graphics.
Disclaimer: I'm always on the lookout for ways to use graphics as
graph editors, so I'm interested in using these sorts of tools for
*input* and not just output.

For those who want to peek here's three examples I selected, plus what
I would think of as pros and cons relative to the usefullness for
Sage.

Typical example:
http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wiki/index.php/Power_Series

JQuery controls:
http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wiki/index.php/Circles_on_circles

Potential for graph theory:
Controls are movable points in 2-D
http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wiki/index.php/Include_JSXGraph_together_with_jQuery

Pros:
LGPL license
Fairly smooth updates as sliders vary
Good browser support
Zoom and pan well-supported
Plays nicely with JQuery

Cons:
Must use Javascript for defining mathematical functions
Very limited library of math functions (about 20 functions)
Duplicates Sage interacts
No obvious facility to use as an input device?
Nothing for 3-D?
