I'm at a total loss to explain this.
There are two adjacent lines in Jmol's Java code:
setB("testFlag4", testFlag4)
setB("traceAlpha", traceAlpha)
now, setB just goes to a method that turns the names into lower case and
stores Boolean.TRUE or Boolean.FALSE in a Hashtable. Just before doing
that, in the
JavaScript, I insert a call to System.out.println to show the name, the
value, what Boolean is and what Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE are.
Take a look:
name testflag4 value false Boolean:function () {
Clazz_instantialize (this, arguments);
} true false
name tracealpha value true Boolean:function Boolean() {
[native code]
} undefined false
Somehow, *in between executing these two calls*, Safari is changing the
definition of Boolean.
After changing the message, I get:
name testflag4 value false Boolean:function Boolean() {
[native code]
} put=undefined
name tracealpha value true Boolean:function Boolean() {
[native code]
} put=undefined
so now this is happening slightly sooner. Probably the reason it all works
with the developer console open is simply that this other thread, whatever
it is, is working at a different time.
And in another load we have:
name zoomenabled value true Boolean:function Boolean() {
[native code]
} put=undefined
Now, that HAD to throw an error, because you can't put an undefined value
into a Hashtable, but, wait! Looky here. The model loaded, and what do you
know? :
jmolApplet0._applet.viewer.global.htBooleanParameterFlags.get("zoomenabled").booleanValue()
true
It DID put Boolean.TRUE into the Hashtable after all.
WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE??
