off the top of my head, not having looked at the jmolButton code:
1. name the applets on your page so they include numbers; ie jmol1,
jmol2, jmol3, etc. then set up your button to send the script via an
array:
/*
var s = "#my script commands";
for (var i=1;i<4;i++)
{
eval("document.jmol"+i+".script(\""+s+"\")");
}
*/
alternatively, if your js will always 'know' how many applets exist:
/*
var s = "#my script commands";
document.jmol1.script(s);
document.jmol2.script(s);
document.jmol3.script(s);
*/
2. name all your applets the same. (this may crash some browsers, if my
hazy memory serves, but it is simpler than 1).
hth,
