Unfortunatly, I do not normally have access to a system that has Chime installed. > Note that this was written in the era when both IE and Netscape had > dropped "live connect" so it uses a hidden frame with code such as > > <embed type=application/x-spt > hidden=true width=10 height=10 button=push > target=C0_42203168433687915 > script="select *;color group" immediate=1> > > to do all the driving. > > Q: Is there anything like this in jmol that avoids Live Connect? Yes, at Tim Driscoll's request we implemented a JmolAppletControl of type 'immediate' that will send the script as soon as it is loaded. This can be put into hidden frame (or perhaps loaded into a hidden div? ... don't know) > Q: What's the history/future of Live Connect? I think that LiveConnect is here to stay IE supports it on Win32 (not on Mac). Mozilla supports it on Linux & Win32 (I don't think on Mac yet) Safari on Panther supports it. Konqueror on Linux supports it. There are some bugs, but it seems pretty stable. Therefore, I suggest that you avoid using the 'immediate' hack and go ahead and use LiveConnect to send script commands directly to the JmolApplet. Similarly, I recommend that you use HTML buttons tied to JavaScript rather than JmolAppletControls (the equivalent of the Chime pushbuttons). > Of course, if this app doesn't work on your setup, please let me know > that, too! I will see if I can find a machine where I can run it.
