I am considering additional changes to the way that applets are

hi Miguel,
I do not use Jmol.js routinely, though I do on occasion and I
recommend it to most folks. my own reasons:
1. I had much of the same functionality already built before Jmol.js.
2. many of my pages use a combination of technologies and that does
not mesh well with Jmol.js.
3. I use callbacks.
4. I find the Jmol.js code difficult to trace, which is frustrating
when debugging.
5. I found Jmol.js hampered what I wanted to do for advanced
javascripting. this is not surprising, since it is designed to make
Jmol implementation as easy as possible for novices.
<curmudgeony>
6. I believe that writing html with javascript should be done only
when it can not be avoided.
</curmedgeony>
