Do as it says, insert a space before "\"http\" in your URL. You should be able to comment it out of the js - I did so at one stage - but it's pain as you'll have to do it again every release. But you should NOT have to deal with this. It is NOT the concern of the javascript whether or not you adopt what it thinks is good html practice, especially when it does not know what you are doing. This is a bad feature of the jmol.js and I wish the team would remove it. If it wants to provide advice, it should do so in a readme. And the readme should explain in moderate language the reasons for normally using relative references and not write nonsense about absolute references being evil. I've said this before and I'm saying it again and I'll continue to say so every time another potential user wastes time because of this.
