I have embedded a Jmol applet in one of my own web pages using the javascript interface provided in Jmol.js.
With a structure loaded into the applet, there is a hot spot in the lower right corner of the applet. Clicking on it displays a drop down menu, usually with an entry called main menu and one or more other menus that correspond to my most recent use of the menu. Clicking on menu brings up the entire menu structure. The last item is "About...". Hovering over that item causes what I call a "flyout" menu to appear, generally to the right of the drop down menu, consisting of three sub menu entries. If I am lucky, it appears adjacent to the "About..." menu entry and I can move my mouse directly from the About menu entry to one of the sub menu entries. But often, the flyout is far above the about menu entry and the mouse has to either leave the menu structure or it has to cross over other menu entries within the menu structure on the way to the flyout. Either of those actions causes the flyout to disappear. If I cross a different menu entry, the sub menu that corresponds to it often flys out instead of the flyout that I want. Where the flyout is positioned seems to be random but I think that it is not. For example, If I initially hover over about, the position of the flyout appears to be random. But if I move the mouse up one menu item to language (large language sub menu appears, always in correct place) then back down to about, the about flyout is consistantly positioned adjacent to the surfaces menu although it does vary a little bit. It might be even accross the top or the flyout may be a row higher than the surfaces menu, but they are always touching. If I start at about, move up two menu items to "Computation", then come back down to "About" one of two things can happen. If I come down at a normal speed, ( slow enough to let mouse over fire on "language") then the flyout appears opposite "surfaces" as before. But if I come down very fast (fast enough to prevent mouseover event from firing on "languages"?) then the about flyout appears where it should, adjacent to the "about" menu item. Typical suite of questions apply here: 1) Has anyone else seen this? 2) Can others reproduce this? 3) Is it a configuration or code issue on my part? 4) If not is it a bug or a feature? 5) Is there anyway I can effectively search for previoulsly reported issues so I don't waste list members time on questions that have already been asked and answered? I looked at source forge and mailman and found nothing. I tried a google search restricted to the jmol-users forum at source forge-net. I got a list of posts but none that addressed this issue. Thanks in advance for all direction. Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
