Hey, I've been working on a Jmol page that employs dynamic resizing for everything: the page structure, both Jmol applets, even the title graphics. Most everything is working fine; however, when I resize the page when an echo is displayed, the echo's coordinates are fixed. In other words, if there's an echo on the bottom line and the browser window is shrunk, the echo disappears. Conversely, stretching a browser windows while there's a bottom echo causes it to float closer to the middle.
Not only that, these coordinates stay fixed when new jmolScript commands are issued, so bottom row echoes stay in the same spot all of the time. Strangely enough, using both the Jmol console and percentage values for the echo position places new echoes in the "current" correct position (which becomes incorrect again after any resizing). However, using the pre-set echo rows (middle, bottom) in the console sticks to the areas first set by the applet as being the middle and bottom. Is there any way to get echoes to dynamically reposition based on the applet dimensions (like a JavaScript function that retrieves the current applet dimensions), or should I just stick to using only the top-left corner for consistent echo positions? The fixed position of the echoes seems to be decided after an echo is first issued, not upon applet initialization, so resizing before pressing any buttons causes the fixed positions to be set at a different spot. This position is decided independently for each row, too, so by having commands to use the top-right, middle-right, and bottom-right and adjusting the window in between these commands, they will be aligned differently horizontally.
