why is this so?  I develop everything in Safari, it being the most
generally compliant browser that I know.  control elements seem to
work ok for me, inside or outside of the form container, as long as I

Good. Then perhaps they have fixed this in Safari.

that would be...nice. :-)


My email below is from Aug 2004. At that time the then-current
Safari required that <input > tags be contained inside <form> tags
in order for radio buttons to behave properly. I do not recall if
there were other problems.

ah; a lifetime ago.  maybe they have fixed it.

As my final throw in this thread I put up a formless version of my checkbox page at <http://doolittle.ibls.gla.ac.uk/leader/jmolTests/jmolTestNoForm.html> and checked it on the latest versions of Safari - 1.3.1 for OS X 10.3.9, and 2.0.3 for OS X 10.4.2. After the Javscript warning on the absence of form tags both render the page and give checkboxes that work (ie change the colour of certain residues). Assuming the other controls behave similarly, it would appear that 'they have fixed it', as, I gather, they have fixed most other major bugs in Safari 2.

Is it time to drop the Javascript warning in the Jmol.js, and the admonition to use <form> tags on the jmol js page?
