Ravi, the website is now accessible for me (from Germany), although it 
is performing very slow (Firefox 26.0, OpenSuse 12.2).
The first page load took about a minute and even a reload took more than 
30 seconds. Loading '1deh' as an example structure from the PDB took 
also about 35 seconds. So total time until a structure was loaded was 
about 60 to 90 seconds.
For comparison: loading the same entry with our Jena3D viewer 
(http://jenalib.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1deh&APPLET=html5) 
took about 10 seconds or 5 seconds as a reload.
Is the Jena3D viewer also much slower if you try it, indicating that 
there might be a bottleneck in data transfer rate?

Applying functions also was quite slow:
a) Presets->Protein1  ~7 sec
b) Presets->Protein2 ~60 sec
c) Presets->Protein3  ~7 sec

Rendering changes in the Jena3D viewer are applied almost 
instantaneously. So it is not JSmol speed in general that causes this.
Maybe the server is contacted before issuing any of these commands?

I tried to find out which JSmol version is used, but the popup menu 
wasn't available. Intentionally, I would guess. In this case it would be 
nice to add the JSmol version info to the "About viewer" info.

I noticed some unusual features of the pulldown menus:
1) The menu stays open while commands are issued already.
2) In the 'Representation' menu there are multiple options selectable 
within a single row (on, off, only).

Number 1) is problematic because the user doesn't have any feedback that 
his choice was accepted and the program is doing something. This often 
results in a second or third click, making things worse.
Currently this behavior might be especially disturbing because of the 
long time until an action is finished and because apparently many 
features aren't functional yet. But even without this I am not sure if 
it is really a good idea.

Since the application interface seems to be targeted at beginners, 
apparently trying to reduce the complexity of the JSmol popup menu, 
number 2) might also not be a very good idea. I fear this will be rather 
confusing than helpful. Although it helps to save space or a secondary 
menu level.

Regards,
Rolf
