I assert:
jmolApplet(300,'.....;javascript "appletLoaded(1)" ')
where "1" might change with applets, is the definitive way to do this. You
can put anything in there you want, if you wish to inform the page WHICH
applet is loaded.
Prove me wrong!
Global arrays are tricky because they are common to all applets within the
browser, not just within a given page.
The "appletInfo.registry" property also indicates all applets loaded -- not
just for the current page, but for all pages. The long number is a random
number that is associated with a specific page. The current page's ID is
found by checking _jmol.params.syncId.
jmolGetPropertyAsArray("appletInfo.registry","")
appletInfo.registry={}
appletInfo.registry.jmolApplet0__246834263019686__="JmolApplet[panel0,0,0,350x350,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout]"
