Actually, this was just that dumb requirement that with Netscape 7.2 now you
have to use
setTimeout("document.jmol.script('show orientation')",100)
not just
document.jmol.script('show orientation')
if the calling function was a clicked link.
That is, you can't call the .script() command directly from a link, like:
function resizeApplet(){
document.jmol.script('show orientation')
}
<a href=javascript:resizeApplet()>resize now</a>
or even just
<a href="javascript:document.jmol.script('show
orientation')">js-resizeApplet()</a>"
A reminder for all you I.E. users out there!
I BELIEVE that page there now works with NN and IE.

Craig, I'm also reminded that I wrote a page the purports to do applet
resizing:
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/examples/resize.htm
Today I can't get it working in Netscape 7.2, but it seems to work in
IE. Note that as you resize, the molecule is redrawn with the same
orientation as the user had left it.
But I can't figure out why this is not working in Netscape. Crashes
every time for me.

Bob,
I'm all ears.
At any rate, if everything is written from Javascript, then you can
size as you like...
Right, so, for example, at
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/examples/scaletest.htm
You can see from that code that I am setting the size of the applet
from the URL line. So, for example:
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/examples/scaletest.htm?width=100;height=100
Since one has the JavaScript variables:
screen.width
screen.height
you know what the user has for a display.
And since you have
window.width
window.height
you know if this is in a smaller window. Of course, that could change
in the course of a page's existance, thus
<body onresize=xxxx()>
But, actually, I wouldn't fool with that. It's proven problematic and
unreliable. You can't dynamically resize the applet, anyway, except by
rewriting it to a span, div, or frame.

Frames: Pretty close! I'm almost sold on divs and ready to say I'm done
developing with frames. Can you dynamically set the height of that div
so that it adjusts to overall window height? On my machine the scroller
goes down below the bottom of my screen, so I have to "scroll to
scroll"
That, of course, doesn't happen with frames.
Frames were so nice because they allowed for automatic fractional
window
amounts. Is this possible easily with divs, or do you have to hard code
all the coordinates. "position:absolute" can be difficult.
[I know this is a bit off the focus of the Jmol list, so I'm
cross-posting to ChemWebDev.]
