Simon,
I was seeing this where the script WAS completing after the alert box was
dismissed. Bob correctly pointed out that I was running some Bootstrap related
scripts that imposed JavaScript “use strict.” When I removed this from the
Bootstrap related scripts, the problem disappeared.
However, like you, I continue to see these alert boxes where the script has an
error where previous versions of Jmol would have died without the alert. One
example of this is the following:
Jmol.evaluateVar(jmolApplet0, "'hexane'.find('SMILES','CCC') > 0”)
I know the script is ridiculous, but it happened because of an answer key
error. Earlier versions of Jmol did not throw an error alert with this script.
To summarize, I was seeing two problems - one seems to be corrected by editing
“use strict” out of my Bootstrap .js files. The other problem, alert where Jmol
formerly died without alert, seems to remain.
