I wrote a long message and Bob replied:

I need to be clear whether we are talking about the "interactive"
scripting documentation at

a)  http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs

or the library examples at

b)  http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jslibrary/

Both have pop-up windows. Are both malfunctioning for you, David?

Whoops, sorry, I was talking about (b), which although is something that should
be addressed (further below) is not Bob's responsibility and is not what this
thread was about, which was (a).

As regards (a), which has nothing to do with the Jmol.js checkbox etc.
LiveConnect thing, but is demos of the scripting commands:

in Safari (latest version of everything) I get the pop-ups and the molecules
loading but the links do not work. (in Opera they do not either)
In Mac Firefox, they do.
The ones I tried were moveto, restrict, color etc. (btw his pages validate).

Because of the way in which the links are implemented (via javascript calls to
methods I can't see) it's impossible for me to suggest an explanation, but that
proposed by Bob may well be correct. It's unfortunate, as the facility he is
developing is excellent and will be most useful.

As regards my concern - the official Jmol sourceforge page on the javascript
library - does anyone know the situation regarding current developer
responsibility. I know people are doing this voluntarily, I know people are
busy, but the project is selling itself short if it can't present what it
already has properly.

(I suspect part of the problem is the decision to make the sourceforge pages
multilingual. I have a website with a French version, and it's a real pain to
get a French native speaker do the updates. The answer is, I'm afraid, just do
it in English - I do read all the languages represented (including Dutch) - but
English is the language of science).
