I am working on on a slow/older Mac today instead of my normal (Linux) machine. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of experience with JavaScript. And I've never seen the document.async flag. Here is a simple suggestion you could try ... insert a 'delay' command at the beginning of your script. delay 10 will sleep for 10 seconds A few other small comments about the molecule: - I see that the atoms are spacefilled. The current release does not take this into account when it calculates the scaling. Therefore, the atoms are being clipped when you rotate. You may want to do a 'zoom 95' or something like that in order to slightly decrease the size of the molecule. ... Or, just leave it alone, the next release of Jmol will calculate the scaling assuming that atoms are 100% spacefilled - The current release does not deal with intersecting surfaces properly. Therefore, spacefilled molecules don't look right. During rotations the atoms will "pop" to the front. I have built a 3d graphics kernel for the development version which does the right thing. Hopefully it will be released within a few months.
