Jonathan, I did that exact test, with just 0, and it works for me. I suppose
it could be a browser issue.
Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you are using the right Jmol.js?
Here's some JavaScript test code to try:
var undefined; // for IE 5 ... wherein undefined is undefined
function test0(z) {
z == undefined && (z = 1)
alert(z)
}
test0(0) // should report 0, not 1
