I've been experimenting with driving Jmol from a psp webapp as part of a programming assessment which I am setting. In the process of doing this, I've run into an instability in Jmol 11.9.8 and 11.8.9.
I also tried 10.2.0, which was rock solid. I'm using Firefox 3.0.15 on Fedora 10. I now see that I am using the IcedTea Java plugin with comes with Fedora, rather than an official Sun Java. That is most probably the cause of the problem, but I guess I'll send this anyway in case it is useful for future reference. Safari works fine on the same pages. I include links to two copies of an auto-generated page (which contains a rather long applet string specifying the colour of each residue inidivualy in a large protein) and PDB file. The two copies differ in which version of Jmol is being used. Reloading the Jmol 11.* page a few times leads to the browser functionality gradually locking up - typically on the first load the context menu on the page body stops working, on the subsequent reloads the browser menus stop working, and eventually the browser freezes completely (although the Jmol applet is still working). No such problems are seen with Jmol 10.* Here are the pages: http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~cowtan/jmol11/residues_by_chain.psp.html http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~cowtan/jmol10/residues_by_chain.psp.html I haven't tried any of this using jmol.js. We're teaching python rather than Java or JavaScript, so I am trying to avoid confusing the students with other general purpose languages, hence using the Rasmol input.
