I took a look at the above url on Mac NC 4.79. all of its features can
be accomplished in Jmol, with the possible exception of "copy to
clipboard" (not sure what that is designed to do; it doesn't work OMM).
I don't know if "select *" works, though I would not be surprised (just
don't have a chance to test it right now). but one can use "select all"
in any case.

you can send the commands to Jmol using liveconnect, which works fine in
almost all modern browsers - the notable exception is OSX, where only
Safari 1.2 has liveconnect support for now.
no hidden layer/frame is necessary - just use a direct javascript call
like this:
document.myjmol.script("select all;color blue;spacefill 50%");
but if you really want to use the hidden frame (aka the IMBIF method),
here is mine; season to taste:
/*
function writeIMBIF(script)
{
var immediate_button;
var target;
immediate_button =
"<applet " +
"code='JmolAppletControl' " +
"archive='JmolApplet.jar' " +
"codebase='..\/..\/appletbase' " +
"height='5' width='5' mayscript='true'>" +
"<param name='target' value='demo3d' \/>" +
"<param name='type' value='immediate' \/>" +
"<param name='script' value='" + unescape(script) + ";' \/>" +
"<\/applet>";
if (
(getClientBrowser() == "ns") &&
(getClientBrowserVersion() < 5))
{
target = document.layers[document.layers.length-1];
target.document.open();
target.document.write(immediate_button);
target.document.close();
}
else
document.getElementById("imbif").innerHTML = immediate_button;
}
*/
>Q: What's the history/future of Live Connect?

hopefully it will continue to enjoy support across vendors. Apple seems
to be behind the times with OSX, but I am optimistic.
hope that helps,
