Bob,
Yes, Jmol has been working great for me before I upgraded to firefox3. I know
it's a browser problem because it still works great on safari and IE7. After
doing the browser check, I now know why and it has nothing to do with Jmol. It
is because firefox3 on mac's don't "support LiveConnect communications between
JavaScript and Java applets." This explains why jmol applet loads just fine on
my webpage, but the error occurs whenever buttons are clicked.
Thank you.
Here's the full explaination given by browsercheck for reference:
--
Netscape/Mozilla/FireFox on Macintosh do not have access to the
latest Java release and therefore do not support LiveConnect
communications between JavaScript and Java applets. The Jmol
applet itself will function properly. However, web pages constructed
with HTML controls such as buttons, checkboxes, and links will not
function properly because the controls cannot send the script commands
to the Jmol applet.We recommend that you consider using Safari
or another Macintosh browser that supports LiveConnect communications
between JavaScript and Java applets.Or, you can try installing and using the
Macintosh OS X Java Plug-in fromjavaplugin.sourceforge.net

Rob,
This message is from some version of browsercheck, I think.
When you go here:
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/browsercheck/
do you get that same message?
I suspect the problem is that somebody's HTML needs updating.
Does Jmol work fine for you in general, anyway?

Final testing appreciated for Jmol 11.6. Anything you can do to try to break it

Has anyone had problems with Jmol applet when using firefox 3? I sometimes
(strangely not always) get the following error:
Your web browser is not fully compatible with Jmol
