I don't think that it is ever a good idea to work locally using file:///

It just causes problems because of applet security issues.

If you are building for a web server then all development should be done
against a web server.

Yes, I will modify the wording.

The better solution which will solve the majority of the problems is to
provide the Jmol.js JavaScript library ... I'm working on it as a
background task.
