Good. I strongly encourage everyone to use Jmol.js if at all possible. If you do not then you are in danger of being left behind. > I want to do all this testing locally on the Mac but I'm > running into a java.security problem with opening the molecule.pdb file.

Different browsers behave in different ways with applets running through file:// instead of http:// to a web browser. Most will allow you to access things if everything is in the same directory. But it is up to the browser/Java implementation. Two options: Option 1 - Turn on the web server, but only allow local access -------------------------------------------------------------- *** 2 minutes later *** Those bozos ... looks like you cannot do that, at least with 10.3.3 that I have ... so much for their so-called 'Firewall' OK, there is still another option. You can configure apache so that it will only accept requests from the local machine. $ su #cd /etc/httpd #<edit> httpd.conf search for 'Listen' it will be commented out with '#' Add: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 save #apachectl restart (or apachectl start) Actually, in your case, just turn it on in the control panel. Other machines will not be able to get in. Confirm by trying from another machine. I suggest that you put in a symbolic link to your work area from Option 2 - turn on the web server, but prompt for a password. ------------------------------------------------------------- you should be able to add a .htaccess file to your local directory. Then the browser will prompt the user for a password. I would google for 'htaccess osx os x apache' Option 3 - wait for Miguel to build a signed applet --------------------------------------------------- Building a 'signed' applet is on my list of things to do. I still have some research to do and I still need to integrate it into our standard build/distribution procedures. A signed applet will prompt the user and ask if it is OK to install and execute. Once the user approves then the applet will be able to read and write from the local hard drive, and *should* allow access through file:// to the local file system. Note that the signed applet will not work on the MSFT and Netscape 4.7 Java Virtual Machines.
