I doubt that a webpage coming from an external server will be allowed to fetch a file from local disk programmatically. That's basic security; you do not want pages stealing your files. I was hoping that you could load a file chosen by the user from a dialog, but it seems not to be the case either. Jmol-Java can do it but only with the signed applet, to which the user has to give permission before. In addition, browser policies are becoming more and more restrictive (right now I am unable to run my own webpages using unsigned Jmol applets from my own hard disk). > Amjad Farooq wrote: > But, I think I would continue using Jmol for now but switch to JSmol > when the file upload/save feature becomes available.

It will be trivial to switch that to using HTML5 JSmol in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
