In my experience a lot of problems with different browser behaviour results from different error tolerance and different error correction strategies. This means for example that you developed a page in a specific browser and it works as desired. Then you try a different browser and the page doesn't work as desired. And if you look more carefully with your development browser you notice that there are also error messages there. This might also be the problem in this case. When I opened the "http://moleculesinmotion.com/test/noContainer.htm"; page in Firefox 1.5.0.12 on WinXP I got 3 javascript errors, but the Jmol applet was loaded. One of the error messages "MM_preloadImages is not defined" corresponds to the less clear error message from Internet Explorer for line 83 "Object expected" which points to this (truncated) source: "<body onLoad="SetGutterWidth(1);MM_preloadImages('/images/BJCentral_nav_on.gif',..." So the first thing I would try would be to get rid of these error messages also in Firefox. And with some luck the applet related part might work also in IE.
