hmm. I feel this needs clarification before X users start firing up Apache (which has its own drawbacks). I am running Safari 1.1.1 on Os X 10.3.2, reports Java 1.4.1_01. I just opened (cmd-O) a local html file that loads a local copy of the applet and a local pdb file, and everything works just fine. that tells me that I can run local copies of Jmol without needing the http protocol, at least in Safari. what am I doing differently? Mozilla 1.6 does not work, but this may be Java related: Tried to create the VM in the Java Applet.plugin. We detected that one already was created for this browser. Using existing VM. **Warning** this VM MAY not have the expected Java Runtime Parameters. :tim -- timothy driscoll molvisions - molecular graphics & visualization <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest > > > However, if I use the included > > Apache server to serve the files to myself > > (http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/test/test2/cell457b.html) both the applet > > and the pdb file load properly.
