Rich, Thanks for bringing these specific items to our attention.
Unfortunately, there are a large number of problems on the MacOSX platform. These problems stem from deficient Java and/or JavaScript implementations and/or lack of LiveConnect communication between Java and JavaScript. > However on MacOSX (10.2.8) when I use Camino(V0.7) or Mozilla Firebird > (V0.6) the model doesn't respond to mouse motion nor does the popup menu > appear on right-click. The JmolApplet is using the standard java.awt.event model. If the model doesn't respond to mouse motion then it is not receiving mouse events. If the popup menu does not appear it is probably because the right-click mouse event is not being received. (It is possible, but unlikely, that their Java classes do not include support for javax.swing.JPopupMenu or java.awt.PopupMenu. This, for example, is the problem on MacOS 9, where Netscape 4.* does not implement java.awt.PopupMenu.) > Safari 1.0.1 seems to work as expected but with Safari is the highest-priority browser on OSX. > IE5.2.2 I get mouse motion but no popup menu. Hmmm, this seems related to the popup menu issue under Camino/Firebird. All of these are relying upon Apple's Java implementation. It may well be the case that Camino/Firebird/IE are using Apple Java 1.3.1 ... which had many bugs. Separately, since Microsoft is discontinuing support for IE, this is not a high-priority browser. > I had a quick look iin this list's archives but I see no mention of > these problems; are they already known? Unfortunately, all of these bugs are beyond the scope of Jmol. To ensure security and cross-platform compatibility, an applet is placed in a little box where it cannot control its operating environment. So, I couldn't fix these bugs if I wanted to. I do not have a Mac, so I cannot reproduce these bugs to file bug reports. Please file bug reports with the Camino/Firebird teams so that they are aware of them.
