"New browser Chrome from Google")
I've just installed the new Java 6u10RC (1.6.0_10-rc)
It's difficult to say, but it does seem to load faster (before the applet) and
shows less "dead" times in between loading Java logo and Jmol loading
message, so it will good for users' feeling whole things download for the
first time.
(All this applies to Firefox 3 and Google Chrome.)
The pop-up menu is surrounded with a flashing yellow border for a few
seconds, and an alert yellow traffic sign stays all the time just outside the
top-right corner of the menu. Don't know what they intend to mean by that.
The pop-up menu itself is badly repainted while browsing it wth the mouse
pointer. White blots show up, and parts of the text entries are obscured.
There is a problem there.
I don't see how I can drag the applet out of the browser, since dragging
does rotation in Jmol. Wait! I'll try a different applet.... nope!
A Google search reports that it is Alt+left drag but must be activated in the
applet:
1 - Deploy your applet using a JNLP file (previously just used for WebStart)
2 - Add the 'draggable' parameter to your applet.
Anyway, I don't see the point for Jmol. If we detach it from the webpage
and its UI controls...
Wait! a Java page says only the parameter part, no JNLP.
I've tested it and it works. The applet detaches (Firefox 3 and Chrome) and
stays as a borderless window with a tiny close button (that returns it to the
browser), no way to resize. Maybe useless, but cool!
This is the code I've used:
jmolInitialize("./", "JmolApplet.jar")
jmolSetDocument(0)
var s= jmolApplet(400)
s = jmolAppletAddParam(s,"draggable", "true")
document.write(s)
jmolSetDocument(document)
