Dean,

Yeah, I thought of that and tried it, but that didn't work either. In that case Firebug reports that getElementById is not defined. So it seems for some reason Firefox isn't recognizing the textarea's id. Incidentally, I get a similar error when I try the same with the textDiv div instead.

Jeff,

No apologies needed. Giving an id to a <div> does not create a Javascript object automatically (at least in Firefox). You will have to use something like:

var myText = document.getElementById('jmolText');

and then say

myText.value = dump(_dataInfo);

It's interesting that it does work in Safari.

My apologies.  This is really more of a javascript/html question but
it is on a Jmol project I am working on.  Could someone explain to me
what is the problem with the following code?  The appletReady()
function works just fine in Safari and the page validates as HTML 4.01
strict, but the appletReady() function doesn't work in Firefox.
Firebug reports an error and says jmolText is not defined.

function appletReady() {
var _dataInfo = jmolGetPropertyAsArray("auxiliaryInfo");
jmolText.value = dump(_dataInfo);
}

...

<div id="textDiv">
<form action="">
<p><textarea cols="50" rows="50" id='jmolText'></textarea></p>
</form>
</div>


The page is at http://web.mac.com/jhansen4/Jmol/NewJmolDiv.html if
that will help.
