One other possibility besides MapXSite or MapXTreme is to generate
output from MapInfo in a format called Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
SVG is a draft standard of the Word Wide Web Consortium
(http://www.w3.org/).
The data can be provided over the web (for example embeded in a HTML
document) and, as the name suggests, scaled interactively on the client
side. It's also possible to integrate links (to symbols, lines, regions,
texts), pan, search, and print. Using JavaScript some kind of layer
control can be implemented. Fascinating!
For display the browser needs a plug-in, for example provided by Adobe
(http://www.adbobe.com/svg/main.html as I recall). There also exists
some other viewers.
On the site www.gis-news.de I prepared two sample versions of SVG maps.
The corresponding links are:

http://www.gis-news.de/svg/samples/karlsruhe/index.htm
A SVG map of moscow can be found on Aobe's site.
A description how to use the Adobe SVG viewer ca be found at
http://www.gis-news.de/svg/samples/marathon2000/adobehelp.htm.
A link list is provided:
http://www.gis-news.de/svg/svg.htm.
I'm going to provide the corresponding map2svg.mbx file in some days on
www.gis-news.de.
