OK, a new idea for applet synchronization. Please tell me if it works:
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/json/sync.htm It's not fully articulated, but the basic idea being tested here is direct applet-applet communication via a static appletRegistry All I'm interested in knowing is if the page loads and after clicking the links below the four applets and then dragging one or more of the models around, you see things start moving in sync. Implementation, using Jmol-new.js: jmolSync(<mode>,<targetSuffix>) where <mode> is one of: "ON" --driver of synchronization "SYNC" --synced, but not a driver "OFF" --not synced (not quite working yet) This uses a new public applet method, syncScript(), which allows control of synchronization and passing of a reorientation script. The method uses NO JavaScript -- the applets identify themselves within a common registry and then talk directly to each other. Part of the idea here is to experiment with this sort of direct communication -- calling functions in a different applet. I suspect there will be browser/platform issues. Just a start. All I have time for today.
