Hi Jeff

I have not any experience close to your situation, and I'm a Windows
person, but sometimes a fresh brain can help.

Let's start stating what I have got from your posts:

1.- You have a problem only with Firefox, not Safari. That points to
a Java plugin problem. However, as it has been noted, new versions of
Firefox are reported not to need the plugin. Also, your installation
of the plugin has't helped.

Correct here.  The Firefox version I am using is 2.0.0.1.


2.- The error message in the Java console looks like Jmol is not
understanding the PDB format (it usually says "SmarterJmolAdapter:The
Resolver thinks:pdb" instead of "SmarterJmolAdapter:The Resolver
thinks:null"). However, this should affect Safari too, as would any
Moodle configuration problem.

3.- I suppose you have tried other Jmol pages using your Firefox?
That will rule out plugin problems and take us to Moodle problems.

Correct here also. Other Jmol pages work. I did find that one of the Jmol demonstration pages (the one using frames) doesn't work in either Firefox or Safari but this seems to be an unrelated issue.



And it seems Dean got the same on another Moodle site... So it's some
Moodle trick?

4.- It seems that Jmol loads correctly, so it may be a Java security
restriction specific to the Moodle environment... but again, then
Safari shouldn't work either.

I know I am not giving any solution, but sometimes thinking aloud
helps
--and I felt you needed some answer--.

Good luck. And make sure to write down the answer when you find it.
The Wiki has a secton on Jmol in Moodle.

Thanks again. It seems this is most likely a Moodle problem rather than Jmol so I'll see if I can get some help from the Moodle community. I'll be sure to bring any solutions I may find back here.


Jeff
