What you report is most likely true, inasmuch as I have not taken the time to tweak my Mac system to its optimum performance. _javascript_ is fine as long as I do not try to control the applet with it. Part of my troubles may be that I prefer Netscape (on the Mac) to Safari. With Windows XP I find Netscape to be less reliable than I.E., and reloads seem to be a problem with all combinations.

I use both Wintel and Macintosh platforms, and I find the latter fails to function well with many of the fine sites referenced here, despite upgrades to OS10.3.5 and the most recent Java fixes.Unfortunately, that is quite true.hi, FWIW, this has not been my experience. I have 10.3.5 with the latest java and latest cvs build of the Jmol applet. I run into problems with Jmol sites, but most of the time, it's not Jmol. it is either _javascript_ issues, non-compliant html, or something else funky. also, in developing Jmol sites of my own, built entirely on the Mac platform, I have run into few Jmol-related problems. even when I cross over to the dark side - er, I mean, to Windows XP. ;-) I have *many* more problems with IE mangling CSS. the worst thing I've seen so far is an apparent memory leak in the applet, if I reload the same page many times successively. regards, tim
