[Jmol-users] Jmol and Opera

[Otis Rothenberger]

Hello-               I use a lecture graphic approach that places a number of Jmol applets into DOM objects on a page. These applets are subsequently modified via _javascript_ and “Rasmol,” including DOM hide/show sequences. This all works well in MSIE and Firefox, but in Opera, an applet containing object reverts to the original default molecule following any DOM hide/show. I think the three browsers that I am using to check this are all using the same version of Java (1.5.0_06).               Does anyone know if this apparent redrawing of the original model is just a standard feature of the Opera implementation of Java applets? I’d also appreciate any suggestions for a work-around in Opera. I like to provide my students with three browser options for lecture graphics – Opera, Firefox, and MSIE.               One note about the hide/show behavior: MSIE and Firefox are lightning fast after the first hide/show, thus allowing flip-card animation by flipping through the applets with a hide/show sequence. Opera goes through a slow applet loading sequence with each hide/show. Again, is this just the way it is with Opera? Thanks in advance for any advice.   Regards, Otis   -- Otis Rothenberger Department of Chemistry Illinois State University Normal, IL 61790-4160 http://chemagic.org
