I'd like to switch the following app to jmol. Would you please take a look at it and tell me if there is anything it can do with Chime that can't be done with jmol?

Unfortunatly, I do not normally have access to a system that has Chime installed.
Can I ask why that is? I am running Chime on Netscape and IE on a PC (despite the fact that the MDL installer fails to install it in Netscape for some odd reason). Perhaps a PC/Windows machine is not available to you?
Bob
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)
OK, that would be high on my priority list--I can't restrict my code to PC-only here.
Bob
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.
