I have updated the interactive script documentation at

NEW:

I believe that "polyhedra" does not work. Can anyone tell me if you can get it
to work in the latest release (10.00.11) or any, for that matter? I'm sure I saw
it work there before....
Also, I've implemented a slightly modified version of Jmol.js locally here at
St. Olaf on the documentation site that now allows us to pop up windows with
molecules in them. I think this makes for a more interesting documentation
(because you can pop up a snippet of example code and play with it yourself).
Check it out at
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/#.slab
I will suggest that my changes be incorporated into the official
Jmol.js, but I'd rather let others do that. The key is to allow the
writing functions such as jmolApplet() to return a string, not use
document.write directly. This is important because while one window is
writing to a new window's document, that written code cannot itself also
write to the same document using document.write() commands. That is:
win.document.write("jmolApplet()")
is a sure bet for a crash with the current Jmol.js file.
But this works fine when jmolApplet() just returns a string instead of itself
doing the document.write() command again.
In addition, one needs to use an explicit "suffix" for the applet name so that
each time a new window is opened, the applet has the same name (for scripting
from links). If you are interested, you can see how it works in the
documentation code.
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/code.js
(look for "showModel")
This modification of Jmol.js will allow us also to write applets on the fly to
divs, frames, and other windows. Especially important, this allows one to write
the applet AFTER the page is loaded. To date, this has been impossible using
Jmol.js.
HOWEVER, while doing this I ran into a problem with Jmol.js as written. In
particular, I had to set
_jmol.archivePath="JmolApplet.jar"
explicitly, because otherwise, at least from my site, the applet took FOREVER to
load. (Like 1-2 minutes.)
