You might be right, but I think it's more subtle than that. From what I read,
iPad Safari actually sends a hover event. You see it when you touch a link and
hold for a second rather than click (a quick tap). The hold selects the link
and brings up a hover box, albeit not the link title hover. I haven't tried it,
but I bet a :hover style would override Safari's hover box to bring up your own
hover hint. It's not just links. Hovering (touch hold) page html containers
selects them and brings up a copy box.
So in the case of bond selection, I really think it's a touch followed by a
tap. The bond hover circles do not display, so I make the model go translucent
for a second to reinforce proper bond selection.
At first, I put this all in the fun challenge category, but I must admit that
I'm pleasantly surprised to find how well JSmol behaves on Safari/iPad.
IPad/Chrome on the other hand is useless.
iPad aside, I can't believe how easy it was to bring most of our virtual model
kit functionality from Jmol applet to JSmol.
