I have a somewhat different experience, I think. Let's try to focus in on some specific sites to compare. I am using the following:

http://dev.molvisions.com/debugging/jmolcalls_nocallback.html

www.saintmarys.edu/~pbays/Stereochemistry/Fischer.htm

http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/atoms/


I find that if I load any one of the three into a fresh Safari, it works but the subsequent loads do not.

I am running 10.3.9 with Java 1.42_05_141.4 on two platforms. On a third, I have the same but I did not apply the most recent 10.3.9 security and java patches. It exhibits the same issue. So it is not those updates. On lab machines, we are running 10.3.5 with java 1.4.2_05_141.3. Those machines do not exhibit this issue; all pagers load fine sequentially.

On the other hand, Bob looked at 10.3.4 and 10.3.5 machines yesterday and they had problems, though it was not clear that those problems were the same as this problem.

I would like to hear from some others, including Tim, Bill, Bob and I to see if we can tabulate any sort of OS and Java version patterns. Can we use these three links as tests?

Tim,

I have just examined the following group of pages, loaded in the order given.
� 1. A page from our server, a Silicon Graphics platform
� 2. Your test page
� 3. A page running on my local Mac
� 4. A different page from our server, using a different JmolApplet.jar
� 5. Phil's Fischer projection page (saintmarys.edu/~pbays/Stereochemistry/Fischer.htm)
� 6. Bob's mirror of your test page.
The first four run fine, even after recycling through all six in random fashion. The last two load but do not function.

UNFAIR!!!


Bob, Tim , Phil et. al. My finding is similar and yet different. I
have loaded Tim's original test page, sandwiched between two pages of
mine which use different copies of JmolApplet.jar files on my local
Mac, and all pages execute as designed in Safari, even reloading in a
random fashion. However Bob's two pages, which I found to perform
properly in two earlier tests fail when added to the group. The
others continue to function well after this addition. Bill


I believe the key here is 'local Mac.' I have found that this problem is restricted to server instances, not local filesystems. so in the first set of three, my test page is the only server-based example and no failure. but in he second set, we have mine plus Bob's pages from different locations, and failure.

any takers? ;-)
