Thanks for your help Bob. I went to Console.app and checked out the Java log and found the following.

org.jmol.applet.Jmol load time = 2 seconds
FileManager.openFile(../../file.php/11/1a3n.pdb)
SmarterJmolAdapter:The Resolver thinks:null
error opening http://moodle.depauw.edu/file.php/11/1a3n.pdb
unrecognized file format
openFile(../../file.php/11/1a3n.pdb) 1202 ms

This is pretty much what Dean found earlier. As he mentioned, this seems to be a Firefox on OS X issue only.

This is usually an indication that your server is not properly finding
the files. It's a directory issue. Be sure to open the Java contol panel -- argh on a Mac -- ah, look at the Java log in the System logs folder -- and see what it is telling you. It will say something like "file not found -- JmolApplet.jar" or something like that. Then we could know what "loads the applet just fine" means. Be sure to try on a PC as well using
Firefox.

My university is currently trying Moodle as an alternative to
Blackboard for a Course Management System.  One of the things I like
about Moodle is that it supports Jmol.  However, we have had some
problems so far.  I have put a couple of Jmol pages on my Moodle
site.  I am able to view the molecules just fine in Safari but not in
Firefox (Mac OS X 10.4.8).  In Firefox, it loads the applet just fine
but fails to load the molecule.  I get a black box which, when I
control click, gives the pop-up menu which indicates no atoms are
loaded. We are using Jmol 10.2. I have asked them to switch to 11.0,
but it hasn't happened yet.  If anyone has any suggestions about what
is going wrong that I could forward to our Moodle site administrator I
would really appreciate it.  I haven't yet had the chance to test on
any other systems so I don't know how it behave there.

Thanks.
