hi Angel,

first, congratulations a very nice feature!  I think you should  
integrate it into Jmol.js (perhaps as a set of external js  
libraries).  you could extend it to more complex layouts as well, to  
include multiple applets, multiple text boxes, etc.  if you want to  
do this, I'll be happy to talk more with you off-list.


functionality on OS X:
at first glance, v0.3a works flawlessly in Safari and Firefox under  
OS X (10.4.8).  I did not try anything complicated, just resizing the  
window a few times, but ran into no trouble.


a question:
I have been using a very similar implementation for several years;  
however, I have never been able to add the dynamically resizable  
applet.  that is an enormous upgrade IMO!  can you point out how you  
accomplish that in particular?  I can't tell from looking at your code.


a few hidden problem spots that you might encounter:
I have found this method to be quite stable on 'modern' browsers -  
but not so much on the older Windows systems. this is more of a css  
issue, not a Jmol issue.  percent widths, heights, overflow, even  
float, they all behave, well, inconsistently.  it would be great to  
hear from testers using older versions of (especially) IE.

also, I have noticed trouble across systems at low screen resolutions  
- for example, when you project it in a classroom setting. this is  
mostly an issue with the float property; the divs are forced into  
strange positions.  I have access to a projector so I can investigate  
this issue on monday.


regards,

tim
