I have released a version of JSmol that should work fine for MSIE from a
local page in HTML5. If you need to use a local installation that works in
MSIE, this is for you.
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/zip/jmol-14.1.12_2014.03.11.zip
This includes an upgrade to jQuery 1.11.0, which I had to hack to get it to
work with MSIE.
Be aware that if you use JSmol.min.nojq.js because you are providing your
own version of jQuery, generally that's fine. But if you have users that
would access your page from local disk using MSIE (thinking of you,
Simone), that will not work. If that's the case, be sure to use
JSmol.min.js, which includes the modified version of jQuery 1.11.0.
