There is no way document.getElementById fails for any browser. But there was
a problem earlier with the way the logic worked in the method just above
this.
function _jmolFindApplet(target) {
// first look for the target in the current window
var applet = _jmolFindAppletInWindow(_jmol.appletWindow != null ?
_jmol.appletWindow : window, target);
// THEN look for the target in child frames
if (applet == undefined)
applet = _jmolSearchFrames(window, target);
// FINALLY look for the target in sibling frames
if (applet == undefined)
applet = _jmolSearchFrames(top, target); // look starting in top frame
return applet;
}
In older versions of Jmol, this was looking in frames below the current
window and, I think, NOT in the currrent window itself. Somehow that worked
for some older browsers but not others. So you should be fine.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
