I found a confusing (at first) statement in the documentation about
jmolRadioGroup
(perhaps others too)
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jslibrary/#jmolRadioGroup
It reads:
*"* jmolRadioGroup(arrayOfRadioButtons, separatorHtml, groupName, id, title)
*Advanced:*
1) The whole group of radio buttons will be included in a <span> element
that will have as its HTML id the value of id or, if this is not given, the
value of groupName (optional).
2) In turn, each radio button + label will have as its HTML id "span_" plus
the group's id plus an underscore plus a sequential number (starting at
zero), and as its HTML title, the common title (optional). "
In my js script I have:
jmolRadioGroup([["color structure;","2nd","isChecked"],["color
chain;","Chain"]]," ","radio_color","radio_color","pick color");
So this ("blindly") generates:
<span id="radio_color"> <span id="span_radio_color_0">
<input id="radio_color_0" type="radio" checked="" onmouseout ="
_jmolMouseOut()" onmouseover="_jmolMouseOver(1);return true; "
onclick="_jmolClick(1);return
true;" name="radio_color"/>
2nd
</span>
<span id="span_radio_color_1" >
< input id="radio_color_1" type="radio" onmouseout="
_jmolMouseOut() " onmouseover="_jmolMouseOver(2);return true;"
onclick="_jmolClick(2);return
true;" name=" radio_color"/>
Chain
</span>
</span>
The confusion was whenever I tried to access/change the radiobutton checked
state and used the id "span_radio_color_0" and
it didn't work. It was until I checked the generated html code and read the
documentation a 2nd time that I noticed point 2) says
"each radio button + label". May I suggest to add a third point in the
documentation showing the way to access the state of the
radiobutton (<input ...> html tag) generated by jmolRadioGroup, which in
this case would be id "radio_color_0" in the DOM.
BTW, for those web devs that don't know a way to easily debug their
pages/scripts, I recommend FireBug. Of course this means
you need to use FireFox, but I'd expect this is something you're already
using if you're smart, right? ;)
