OK, here's where we are at: I've implemented Angel's suggested changes in JmolCore.js and JmolApplet.js, and I've added the change to JmolJME.js, with one exception.
Everything worked there except one change -- the setting of height to "auto" instead of "95%". It turns out that MSIE with no DOCTYPE tag requires height:95%. For whatever reason. The problem arises when the info panel is displayed and there is overflow. In the case with no DOCTYPE tag -- http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/simple4.htm -- setting height:auto causes MSIE to ignore overflow:auto. Apparently it cannot get the height. Try http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/simple4-auto.htm using MSIE. In addition, without the <table> wrapper, MSIE without DOCTYPE miscalculates the height, and even with height:95% the info panel is slightly larger than it is supposed to be. But <table> is not an option, I understand that. Possibilities: 1) We leave it like this, and MSIE without a DOCTYPE tag works reasonably well. 2) We (Gusts? Angel? - I give up) find a fix for the height:auto problem in MSIE with no DOCTYPE tag. Maybe I'm missing something in the CSS. If you can spot it, great. The page to make sure works is http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/simple4.htm 3) We set height:auto and make if very clear that if you are going to use the info panel at all, you will need to have a DOCTYPE, or your page will be broken on MSIE. 4) Other options?
