Rolf, that is a very clever solution!
Personally, my choice would be to keep the Jmol code simple, and keep
all the hard-core JavaScript on the page:
for the load script:
load "whatever.file"; javascript setSpin(0);
load "whatever.file"; javascript setSpin(1);
Where I'm putting the applet ID in there as a number so you know which
applet was loading. Then in the JavaScript, test all those buttons and
send the appropriate commands using jmolScript(...)
function setSpin(whichApplet) {
.....
}
Josh, also if right before the jmolInitialize() command you add
jmolDebugAlert(true)
then you will be able to see all the HTML code that is going on the
page. This should help sort out what button is what.
