JmolCore.js uses a completely different method and definitely tests for
Mozilla first.
That's something we could change, but I like it that way, and right now I'm
not planning to do any changes at all to Jmol.js and do not plan to adapt
Jmol.js further. Unless you find that pages loaded using MSIE are broken
with Jmol.js, I advise not changing it.
We should probably try to track down some older versions of MSIE -- this
gets hard to do! -- and see that
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/JmolPopup2.htm works (probably the best
test).
