Hi, all this time I've been using the Jmol application from the command
line. However I now have to use it in a web page.

I can place the applet in a HTML page pretty easily. However my
situation is a little more involved and I was wondering if anybody could
provide any hints as to how to solve this:

I have a PHP page that will pull a PDB file and SD file from a database.
So both the structures are in the form of strings.

What I'd like to do is generate a link on the PHP page that when
clicked, brings up a window with Jmol showing the PDB & SDF structures
simultaneously (they are docked ligand and receptor so the coordinate
system is the same).

So there are a number of issues:

* Since Jmol cannot show multiple structures, I need to convert my SDF
to PDB and concatenate it to the protein PDB. Is this correct?

* The PHP page needs to write out a HTML page that contains the code for
the applet. But ordinarily I cannot write a file to disk from my PHP
page. 

* How do I specify that Jmol should load the structures - which are in a
string. Do I need to write out a temporary file?

I have a feeling that Javascript comes in somewhere (!), but never
having done this, it's not clear as to how I attack this problem (at
least in an elegant/efficient manner)

Any pointers would be appreciated

Thanks,
