Re: [Jmol-users] jmolRadioGroup and Safari on the Mac

[Craig T. Martin]

Wrapping the radio button call in a form fixes it! Thanks.
A caution though. If I understand things correctly, one cannot have nested 
forms. Therefore when you come up with an "automagic" fix, be sure that the 
user doesn't call your function in the context of their own form. Not sure 
how to achieve that. Plus, those of us who have nested the call in a form 
will likely get "broken."

Thanks again,
Craig

After some investigation I have found the source of this problem.
It is caused by not having <form> ... </form> tags surrounding your
buttons/controls in your html file.
For the =5Binput=5D control fields to work properly on Safari one *must* =
have
them embedded inside =5Bform=5D tags. This was the original HTML spec. La=
ter,
most other browsers relaxed this constraint. Safari/Konqueror did not.
One can easily address this problem by wrapping the entire contents of
your file inside =5Bform=5D tags
=5Bbody=5D
=5Bform=5D
...
=5B/form=5D
=5B/body=5D
=5B/html=5D
Once before I tried to come up with a scheme to do this automagically ...=
I will give it some more thought.
