Jonathan, There are three issues that I've encountered doing this.
1) There is the standard applet loaded issue. 2) With Jmol the is also the post applet load issue of model loaded. 3) MSIE (see below) By catching step 2 above in Jmol, you are really covering issue 1 and 2. You do this by calling a JavaScript function ( e.g. JmolLoaded() ) at the end of the Jmol Load script using the Jmol JavaScript command. JavaScript does not get this call until 1 and 2 are both complete. It works very nicely. HOWEVER, MSIE MSIE seems to completely ignore the Jmol Javascript command. The only way I've found around this is to use browser sniffing and write a clumsy Timeout routine to call the JmolLoaded() function in MSIE Otis On 6/14/2010 9:36 AM, Jonathan Gutow wrote: > A question for you javascript mavens. > > I'm trying to help the SageMath people with their Jmol interface.
