Bob,
I found the jmolScriptWait(scpt) documentation on the jmol.js
documentation page. I had problems implementing it. There's something
I'm not getting right in my attempts.
BUT
Your terminal Jmol JavaScript command appears to be the solution to my
problem. One by one, I'm able to remove these timeouts using this
approach. I do need to rework my Jmol script strings, however. That
terminal javascript command needs double quotes.
Unfortunately, one timeout that I can't seem to eliminate is the one on
the original applet load script.
APPLET_LOAD_STUFF;javascript "getFormula()" will not work.
APPLET_LOAD_STUFF;javascript "jmolInit()" works.
jmolInit() simply calls getFormula() via a timeout.
Unfortunately again, this is probably the cause of that random load
error. One solution to this is eliminating getFormula() on an initial
applet load. The same default model always loads, and I can supply this
as string without the jmolScript calls in getFormula.
