I don't really understand what this means. For IE + Mozilla family + (recent) Safari the html code that is generated uses <object>. I believe that on these browsers the code that is generated is compliant. However, be advised that: - I have never run a 'compliance checker' - I am not a web designer with lots of HTML experience So, if there are problems with the html code that is generated please do not hesitate to point them out to me. > Q: Are we aiming for -strict on this? yes? no? ultimately? I am not sure exactly what this implies, but I think that the answer is: For modern browsers, Jmol.js should generate strictly compliant HTML For older browsers, Jmol.js should generate HTML that works. At some point ... perhaps soon ... Jmol.js will explicitly drop support for older browsers (e.g. Netscape 4.7) > What I'm thinking is that <applet mayscript="mayscript"> is NOT allowed in > xhtml1-transitional, even though <applet> is. Jmol.js no longer generates <applet> tags for modern browsers. > Q: So if I include a transitional DOCTYPE, and Jmol.js throws in an > <applet > mayscript> tag for some browser on the fly, is that a problem? I don't think so ... I think that backwards compatibility is a feature, not a bug. > Will I lose my scripting?
