OK, I guess my bottom line question is this:
If it is this difficult to get all this going on a Mac, should I assume that Jmol -- when scripted by JavaScript -- is PC-only?
Other applets: Someone find us another applet that we can port. I thought I had done that with that little LiveConnect SRP applet, but if you don't think that one's sufficient, what can we put up to get a demonstration?
Phil, please confirm that going between
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/liveConnectTest.htm
and
http://srp.stanford.edu/demo/
does not cause the same issue?
These are two applets from two different servers. Isn't that the same as having two jmolApplet.jar files on two different servers? In this case it is bigint.class that is on the two servers.
It's important to establish that this is NOT a jmol problem, if it is not. If it turns out to be a jmol problem, then I would like to run the test with a very old version of jmol just to make sure that nothing in the last year or so has introduced this problem.

Further test. Works fine in Safari, using java 1.4.2 or Sun java 5.0. I get two alerts for each link. But Firefox and Mozilla crash without getting the pages loaded.

I am not kidding. However, this brings me back to my comments earlier this morning about two issues.
As I understand it, the Mozilla group's tree is only compatible with Mac java 1.3 -- which is not LiveConnect savvy. That is the reason for the plugin we have to use which can be obtained from this site. Go there and look at the description of the plugin and why it is necessary.

When Apple released its version of Java 1.4 and then 1.4.2, Safari became LiveConnect capable. And you could sequentially load Jmol applets from different locations, I believe. And it still is.
However, at some point that got broken so that when you load a second instance of an applet from another location, \ liveconnect does not work. I can for example go to your simple test page and run your test well, whether it is the first load or whether it is loaded before or after I load my page. The reverse works. What does not work in safari is the ability to load jmol from two different sites in the same instance of the browser.
This is why I raised the issue about other applets. Do we know of other java applets that require liveconnect that are sequentially accessible from different locations? Or is this a Jmol problem? I know that Tim and Miguel believe it is an Apple issue, and I do not doubt them on that. I just want to find other applet developers with the same issue so we can band together in protest :-) ( very '60's which shows my age!!) To date I have not been able to find those complaints elsewhere.
