Eric makes a good point, and I would certainly recommend using JavaScript/HTML
buttons in the main page to control the framed model rather than controls in a
second frame. On the other hand, a frame, particularly an iframe, is often very
useful for a JSmol window. This approach allows you to essentially create an
isolated “Jmol App” within your page. I find this useful programmatically and
maintenance-wise.
If your main page controls are JavaScript/HTML buttons, then the reference to
the frame simply becomes:
document.getElementById("modelFrameID").contentWindow.iFramePageJmolScriptFunction()
JSmol pages don’t work on old browsers, so iframes are not the headache that
they used to be. If JSmol works in the user’s page, iframes should not be a
problem. I use them all the time.
