It's just a file format problem, Henry.

I'm getting this on my Java Console:

openFile(6+2-yne.xyz) 280 ms
SmarterJmolAdapter:The Resolver thinks:null
error opening http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/chreay/suppinfo/cr030092l/Figure4/6+2-ene.xyz
unrecognized file format
openFile(6+2-ene.xyz) 220 ms

When I look at that file, all I see is a huge set of javascript. Is there really a .xyz file hiding there somewhere?

So there's some magic going on here from your end that is a little beyond the applet's capability, perhaps.

Oh, I see, it's a redirect from the server after setting a bunch of document cookies to

http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/chreay/suppinfo/cr030092l/Figure4/6+2-ene.xyz?sessid=3705

Oh, forget that!

Could  I ask the list to test the following

When I tested it locally, molecules  ALWAYS appear on the page.  When the ACS
mounted it, molecules always appeared when they test it.  But when  I
and colleagues here test the ACS pages, more often than not, no molecules
appear.

Turns out that reloads of the page (between 1-4 reloads) normally eventually populates the page with molecules. On a Mac with Safari, the success rate is much lower.

This has all the hallmarks of a flow control problem, whereupon the data
for an applet is passed to that applet before it has fully finished downloading.

If this is correct,  I dont know if this is a browser issue, a Java run time 
issue,
or a  Jmol issue (or an issue due to the way the applet is called).

Can anyone help?

PS Other pages afflicted by this problem include

http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/orlef7/suppinfo/ol0518333/index.html

If it can be reproduced, is there a fix?
PS I am deploying  Jmol 10  from last  December, as the currently
stable version.
