I have today released a new version (1.98) at

http://FirstGlance.Jmol.Org

This version defaults to using the signed Jmol Java applet 14.0.3, 
but optionally can use JSmol. At the above URL you will see a 
pre-checked "Use Java" checkbox. Unchecking that makes it use JSmol.

If you start FirstGlance from a link (such as those in Nature) for example

http://FirstGlance.Jmol.Org/fg.htm?mol=1d66

it will default to Jmol/Java, but you will see a prominent "Try 
FirstGlance without Java" link. That link will disappear 
automatically if loading is successful, but you can get it back by 
clicking on "No Java?" or "Can't see the molecule?".

Or you can add &nojava or &html5 (equivalent), e.g.
http://FirstGlance.Jmol.Org/fg.htm?mol=1d66&nojava

I have tested it in MAC OS 10.6.8 and OS 10.8.5 in Safari, Firefox, 
Chrome, Opera; and in Windows 7 in Internet Explorer 11, Firefox, 
Chrome, Opera. All work with both Jmol and JSmol.

Internet Explorer 11 is unusably slow with JSmol. So if you uncheck 
"Use Java" in Internet Explorer on Windows, a yellow banner appears 
urging you to use another browser.

Unfortunately, on an iPad, Safari vaporizes a couple of seconds after 
the molecule appears. To be investigated.

I am very impressed with how well JSmol works! Major, major kudos to 
Bob and everyone who has contributed to it!! There are some bugs and 
limitations that I will report later. Notably, with 20 NMR models 
(2bbn) the browser tends to freeze. Rotation gets sluggish with 7ahl 
(over 2,000 atoms) but it is still so much better than nothing!
