You are probably calling document.getElementById too early, before the
applet is initialized. This problem is solved using JmolApi.js. There is
not problem if you do it right. But there is also no need to use the
getElementById call. I get the sense you are going backward on this, not
forward. The API provides much better handling of calls to Jmol. Not sure
what you are after here.

We have never had any problems on any of these platforms, so I would be
surprised if you did.

Please see JmolApi.js. It covers all the public methods.

See the code, and JmolApi.js. The DOM methods were an experiment that
didn't go anywhere, really.
