Thanks. Bob. Using document.getElementById('jmolText'); worked.
Thanks for sharing your .js file as well. I'll probably take a look
at it at some point. I'm working towards my own at this point and I'm
afraid looking at yours will just prevent my learning how to do it
myself.

Right -- "name" attribute is quite problematical. In some browsers
"id" is accessible as "name", but that's not acceptable. And in some
browser versions the name of an element in a form is under the form
name rather than the document.
Always use "id" and, as Dean points out, then access it only using
document.getElementById()
Most of us create a scrap of JavaScript that we put in all our pages
that provides us these services.
One I use is http://www.stolaf.edu/depts/chemistry/gca/divs.js

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.
