When you use Jmol.getAppletHtml(xxx, Info),
then a JavaScript object is created:
window[model.ids.id_jsmol+"JmolObject"]
That is the "applet" object. If you really don't know what
model.ids.id_jsmol is, then you could short-cut that later with:
jmolObject = window[model.ids.id_jsmol+"JmolObject"];
I apologize about the ambiguity of "applet" here. We have the JavaScript
object and the (formerly/occasionally) Java applet or its JavaScript
equivalent. In the JavaScript on the page,
jmolObject._applet
is the Java/whatever applet that has all the public functions of the
original Jmol Java applet plus, in JavaScript, all private methods and
fields, such as
jmolObject._applet.viewer.modelSet.atoms[3].toString()
I probably should not even mention that, because anything not public for
the Java, though public for JavaScript, is considered fair game for
development changes. No guarantee that "modelSet" will be called that
tomorrow! Fair use for testing and development, but don't use this for
production.

Funny the way jQuery grows on you... I now see $("#xxx")[0] as being way
nicer than document.getElementById("xxx").

as mentioned. Just use window[....] not eval(). Or you could use self[...].
Anyway, in JSmol.js we have:
Jmol._registerApplet = function(id, applet) {
return window[id] = Jmol._applets[id] = Jmol._applets[applet] =
applet;
}
So window[id] is guaranteed to be your applet object.

There you go. Right, eval() can do more than you want it to. Stick with
window[].

Next release allows setting the z-order of the applets prior to execution
of Jmol.min.js. But now that I think of it, I think
Info.zIndexBase
would be in order. Note that there are a range of objects that need z
indexes -- menu, console, dialogs, etc. That can be customized already, but
Info.zIndexBase (currently 9000) would probably be nice to have.
