Thanks Bob. That certainly works. So basically anytime I want to pull
out some info from the molecule file I need to do that in the
jmolApplet command. Or is there a way to do that prior to loading the
molecule into Jmol? I'm looking ahead to situations where I'll want
to dynamically load a structure into an applet, grab some data out of
it and do some stuff with it. Now I'm wondering how I'll be able to
update other parts of the web page based on this data if the applet
hasn't finished loading the file yet.
Is there a way to find out what properties are accessible from the
applet? I'm looking at getting a protein's sequence into an array or
a small molecule's energy. If these aren't directly accessible can
the entire file be brought into a string variable and then dig the
info out of it?
Thanks again.

Jeff,
The mistake here is timing. You cannot query an applet while the
page is
loading (prior to </body> and completion of applet initialization).
In some
cases this crashes browsers; in others it just causes an error; in
others it
permanently disables the applet communication.
The simple fix is to place the JavaScript code in a function defined
in the
<head> block, and then add a JavaScript call to that function in the
start-up Jmol script, after the file is loaded. No need for form tags.
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function appletReady() {
var atomSetArray = jmolGetPropertyAsArray("atomInfo","atomno<5");
alert (atomSetArray[0].info);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
jmolInitialize("jmol");
jmolApplet(500, "load ../Jmol/jmol/models/1bf3.pdb;javascript
appletReady()");
</script>
</body>
