Thanks for help. I have implemented message callback function. I have another question. I think it is more of a javascript question rather than JMol. I want to know how can I keep checking a variable for a particular value, in my case "script completed", and when find it, I move ahead with my program's next line. i have tried using Settimeout function in javascript, but its not working.
I did something like this function show() { --- --- while (abc != "script completed") { setTimeout(check(),100) } --- --- } function check() { var a=document.name.value; --->from message callback a=a.split("\n"); abc=a[0]; } abc is holding the value of first line from message callback I want to monitor its value to check for "script completed", and if it is I move to next line in loop.
