I think you are completely right. The problem is that I am not savvy
in javascript debugging. Plus the GWT does some funny things
(crosscompiling etc) that lead to a crash of the JVM (due to non
native function) if i try to initialize the Jmol applet in a GWT page.
This "crash" makes it relatively hard to debug...

I circumvented the whole problem by using a non-GWT jsp page that
displays my files.

The other solution is - as I already said - not to use the Jmol.js and
it's functions, but to embed Jmol as . At least in the
latest versions of IE and Firefox this imho works. But Angel is right
- the complete Browser abstraction layer gets lost + the nice Jmol.js
functions (buttons etc) get lost too.

Another question is, if anybody out there managed to get Jmol.js up
and running in a AJAX DOM changing application. At least for prototype
I know it does not work either... I'll make that a separate thread...


Thanks for your help!

Raphael

Re: [Jmol-users] AJAX applications and Jmol and Jmol.js

2008-12-17 Thread Paul Pillot
I did that a couple years ago on a project involving prototype mixed  
with jmol.js without any trouble.
http://librairiedemolecules.education.fr/outils/xtal0/xtal.htm#
It's beta and not working anymore as it should, due to changes in the  
back-end database. You can still click on the "Fichier" link and make  
a search. A message alerting that no file has been found should be  
displayed.
I don't know if that would help as this page uses versions of theses  
libraries dating from 2 years ago...

[Jmol-users] AJAX applications and Jmol and Jmol.js

2008-12-17 Thread Raphael André Bauer
Hey list,


I am curious if anybody managed to get Jmol up and running in a AJAX
application that replaces the DOM. In another thread I discussed an
issue where I had severe problems using the GWT (well, the GWT is
somehow special as well). My experience is, that the applet (using the
object tag) works fine, but the Jmol.js (providing very useful
functionality) breaks "something" (Hard to debug in the GWT for me). I
know that Jmol.js does not play together well with the prototype AJAX
library as well.

So - is anybody using Jmol in such a AJAX scenario? If yes - with what
AJAX library?


Thanks!

Raphael

Re: [Jmol-users] AJAX applications and Jmol and Jmol.js

2008-12-17 Thread Robert Hanson
Raphael, the key is to track down the error messages involved in that
incompatibility. It's probably something very simple. Please help us
by:

explaining what you mean by "an AJAX application that replaces the DOM"

telling us more about your experience -- what sort of errors are you getting

telling us more about how the GWT works.

Bob

Re: [Jmol-users] AJAX applications and Jmol and Jmol.js

2008-12-17 Thread Dean Johnston
I've used the Prototype.js library pretty extensively in my pages (
http://symmetry.otterbein.edu).  I store my structures as JSON files which I
can read and evaluate using the AJAX functionality in the prototype
library.  I also do some select DOM replacement to generate tables of
checkboxes and other controls.  I haven't had any difficulty getting the
Jmol.js functions to work with what I've written.
