It appears that Angel’s supposition is correct; that, is using
var Info = {
blah: “blah"
};
in the header of the html file to set any value means that none of the values
for things like “j2sPath”, “serverURL”, etc. in the Jmol2.js file will be used.
Thus, if one uses that method for setting values, then all the values need to
be set that way. On the other hand, it also appears that if one uses Angel’s
suggesting of setting the values by using syntax like this "Jmol.Info.j2sPath
= “path-to-j2s/j2s”;” in the html file then the values that are specified
override any values set in Jmol2.js and all other values in Jmol2.js that
haven’t been overridden by a similar statement in the html file are still used.
Thus, it’s may be a good idea to set the path to the j2s directory in the html
file using the "Jmol.info.j2sPath” syntax since not all html files will be in
the same location and set every other value in the Jmol2.js file.
I reached this conclusion based on the following observations.This is for Mac
versions of Firefox and Safari with files being served via the loopback address
to a server on the same Mac as configured by Apple’s server app when loading
gzipped files.
Works for Firefox and Safari: Do not specify any values for “Info" in html file
and specify "j2sPath", "serverURL", and "use" in jmol2.js.
Works for Firefox and NOT Safari: Specify either “use” or “j2sPath" value
using “var Info = { [etc/]” in the html file and specify “serverURL” in jmol2js.
Works for Firefox and Safari: Specify “j2sPath” value using "Jmol.Info.j2sPath
= “path-to-j2s/j2s”;” (see script below) in the header of the html file and
specify the “serverURL” in the Jmol2.js file
<script type="text/javascript">
Jmol.Info.j2sPath = “path-to-j2s/j2s";
</script>
Works for FireFox and Safari: Specify everything in the html file using “var
Info ={ [etc]”.

I’m not loading the files using the local file system; that is, using
file:///path-to-file.html.
I’m serving them back to myself using my loopback address.
http://127.0.0.1/chem/path-to-file.html or
http://wine-and-crackers.local/chem/path-to-file.html
I downloaded firefox to test it out, and, cool, I’m surprised that Firefox can
run the app locally using file:///path-to-file.html. It also seems to load the
data files more quickly.
