My experience is that yes, often the page finishes loading before the applet
fully loads, so
that sounds likely to me as the cause of the problem. And that's in Windows
(mainly Firefox,
but probably IE too) while I don't know much about threading and am certainly
doing nothing
about it on purpose
The safe way is not to do the script upon page load, but to include it the
jmolApplet() call
itself. That way, the processes are consecutive. (Not sure it this solution is
applicable to
your setup, see below.)

The problem there is that the needed amount of sleeping time may depend on the
connection: not the same in local disk and local server tests than for a user
getting the page
and the applet across the ocean.
It could be like this:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
jmolInitialize("/submit/jmol-11.6.RC15/", "JmolAppletSigned.jar");
jmolSetCallback("messageCallback","messageCallback");
jmolApplet([600, 450], 'load
"file:///Library/WebServer/Documents/toy/vs_analysis/result0.mol2"; select all;
spacefill
20%; wireframe 0.35; ' );
</script>
or, if you need to keep it dynamic by using the function:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
jmolInitialize("/submit/jmol-11.6.RC15/", "JmolAppletSigned.jar");
jmolSetCallback("messageCallback","messageCallback");
jmolApplet([600, 450],
loadLigands('file:///Library/WebServer/Documents/toy/vs_analysis/result0.mol2')
);
</script>
with
function loadLigands(structure) {
var load_script = "load " + structure + ";select all; spacefill 20%;
wireframe 0.35;";
return load_script;
}
