The point is that these are actually Java functions of an applet in our
case (JSpecView) -- nothing to do with JavaScript. We had never called the
function from JavaScript so had never noticed the issue. When I wrote
JmolJSV.js, I added all the public methods of JSpecView into the
JavaScript, and that's when we found this. Then it turns out that
"export()" is not an allowed function of an object -- any object, not just
an applet -- specifically within MSIE. That was the surprise.
