I would imagine that you could, however, what think you are getting with Wt is
a library that not only provides GUI elements designed specifically for use on
web pages, but also that deals with wrapping the C++ code as domain-centric
plug-ins (look at the examples provided via the main Wt page).  You'd have to
provide such a layer yourself in order to "directly" use Qt C++ code in the
same fashion.

However, you might want to check out Qt's QML module, which uses JavaScript as
its scripting language.  I'm not really that familiar with it (so somebody may
want to step in here and correct me), but it might provide the bridge you are
seeking between Qt and HTML.
