Oh, I wouldn't recommend that. It would be very difficult to manage and
would just be complete overkill. That is precisely what Jmol is already
doing -- all the scripts enter a queue and are processed only after the
previous script is complete. So I can't imagine that you could do any more
than that, except slow that process down. You might remember that that was
one of my first contributions to Jmol, which fixed a vexing problem where
scripts were running at the same time rather than sequentially.
Exactly what you suggest, by the way, is implemented in Jmol Protein
Explorer -- See http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/pe/protexpl/js/top_func.js -- so
look there if you must -- but really, that was all designed by the ingenious
Eric Martz prior to my introduction of the script queue business. In the end
it turned out to be sort of useful -- it now allows me to use the signed
applet as a "proxy server" for getting the text of any web page into
JavaScript -- something that otherwise requires AJAX. And that is how we get
the Proteopedia Wiki entries in there.
