This function already exists in Jmol (eg. See
http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/Carey5th/Ch04/ch4-2-1.html )
where the commands 

'isosurface plus 0.0004 "../mapped/ch3oh-density.cub.gz";' +
'isosurface plus color "../mapped/ch3oh-esp.cub.gz";' +

First command loads and generates the electron density surface, and the
second one maps the ESP onto the density surface. The only problem is the
size of these files, even the "small" ones are 200 Kb, and the larger ones
up to 2 Mb (when gzipped). This of course produces slow download times
especially over dial up.

How about isoslice ? i.e.

isoslice [name] [color range] "cube-file-name"
