Hi, It's nice to see some response. :) But first things first.

Perhaps > the plugin could implement these functions in some way, as in... > > $('#jmolButton').jmolButton(); This is also one of the things that I'm actually trying to avoid. Let me show you an example. Let's say you have a HTML code that looks like that: <p>This is some description about what is going to happen when you click <a href="/some_molecule.pdb" id="magic">here</a>.</p> So you add to your javascript file somewere in jQuery's $(document).ready() part a line: $('#magic').click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); // disable default click action $('#my-jmol-viewer').jmol('load ' + $(this).attr('href')); // or any other command }); See what I've done here? First time you call my jmol plugin on some placeholder <div>, it gets replaced with a Jmol applet object. Next time you can send direct script messages to it. Also if there is no JavaScript a client can download pdb file directly, and we don't interrupt his user experience on the web. Now even more magic: $(document).ready(function(){ // Initialize Jmol with jMol when document has loaded $('#my-jmol').jmol({ // Some settings onLoad : function(url){ // when the molecule has been loaded, we set the page on fire $('#magic').parent().html('Tadaaa!'); } }); $('#magic').click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); // disable default click action $('#my-jmol-viewer').jmol('load /some_molecule.pdb'); // or any other command }); }); > I would also be interested in setting Jmol parameters thusly: > > $('#Jmolapplet').jmol({ parameter: 'bondmodeor', value: true }); > > In my fork, I've added a parameters object to _defaults that contains all > the Jmol parameters as of 12.2.10; you might find that a useful reference. I > also added a simple bit of code to _proc that allows one to set Jmol > parameters using the above syntax. > > https://github.com/mevans86/jMol Oh, nice, this should be sorted out a bit, but it's nice to see. I'll look more into that tomorrow. -- Gusts Kaksis Web Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
