Behavior with the following pages.
1a. http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/applet/mscalc/moveto.htm ----all scripts use document.jmol.script() ----does not employ setTimeout()
1b. http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/applet/mscalc/moveto_byid.htm ----unless otherwise specified, all links use document.getElementById() ----does not employ setTimeout()
2a. http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/applet/mscalc/view.htm ----uses document.jmol.script() if available; otherwise uses document.getElementById() ----employs setTimeout()
2b. http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/applet/mscalc/view_NOSETTIMEOUT.htm ----uses document.jmol.script() if available; otherwise uses document.getElementById() ----does not employ setTimeout()
========== Windows XP/NN7.2 or I.E.
1a,1b,2a,2b all work fine
========== Windows XP/Opera 8.0
1a. works fine 1b. works fine 2a. works fine 2b. locks up application when OK is clicked; must click [x] to exit.
========= Mac 10.3.4/Safari 1.2.2
1a. works fine
1b. document.getElementById().script() links do not work
document.jmol.script() links work fine
2a. works fine
2b. works fine========== Mac 10.3.4/Safari 1.2.3
1a. exits Safari on link click 1b. exits Safari on link click 2a. exits Safari upon clicking OK 2b. exits Safari upon clicking OK
this machine also exits Safari at http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/jssample1/
when the "Reset to original orientation" button is pressed, so I guess there's no sense in worrying about it! It's hopeless.
So, Tim, I guess what I have to say is that it isn't as simple as using getElementById() on ALL Mac/Safari patforms. Don't know if it goes beyond 10.3.4 or not. By the way, on this machine both
javascript:alert(document.getElementById("jmol"))returns "Object applet", and
javascript:alert(document.getElementById("jmol").script?1:0)returns "1" indicating that the script() function is there, but it still can't access it. On this machine one HAS to use
document.jmol.script() or the equivalent document["jmol"].script()
of course, substituting the actual applet name for "jmol" in each case.
Go figure!

Can you describe again what the different behavior you observe is between the web-based one and the one you modified? Could you please put up the changed version somewhere so we could compare? That could be really useful.
in a rush, but had to fire this off:
all I did was modify showscript to say document.getElementById("jmol").script instead of document.jmol.script, and I added id="'+name+'" to getApplet().
more later - sorry...
