Aha, at last someone else sees this. I have seen no reports on the web, but I have also seen what you observe on the Mac with safari. I assume that you have updated to 10.3.5 and that you have updated to the latest version of java, released two weeks ago. I have two machines. On both I have updated to 10.3.5, but the java update has been applied to only one. It is the one that has the java update that causes the problem with with Safari. Check your console after Safari crashes. I predict an assertion error.

I have filed a bug report with apple, but please do the same, or let me know if you observe something different in your console.

You can also check it out at: www.saintmarys.edu/~pbays/Stereochemistry.edu

Any of the tutorials at that address which require jmol will load fine since the initial loading is HTML driven. However, when you hit the New Problem button, it will crash safari. It occurs at the point where you ask javascript to send a script command to jmol.

Using the latest version (August  6th?)
at e.g. http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/symmetry/
we are settling down to debug it for working with different browsers.

It works (at least in our hands) using Firefox on Windows (Firefox
being currently our preferred "standard" browser).

On OS X however, progress is rapidly brought to a halt.
Firefox on this platform complains that  applet.script (line  222)
is not a function if the link entitled eg
What is and what is not a symmetry operation?
is activated.

 Is this lack of particular support for JS on this
version?

Safari on OS X is even less happy. If the above link is attempted,
Safari suffers an instant program crash (with no entries in the log file I
can find).


Can anyone reproduce this behaviour?

PS IE on Windows is also currently unhappy with our page!

PPS Application of  SP2 on Windows XP seems to bring its own chaos
to Java.  More of which later.  Has anyone else tried applying  SP2?
