I've put up a proposed change to Jmol.js. Please check it out. The idea is
that we would be able to test sites using different Jar files. The comment
in the Jar file reads:
// Note added 12:41 PM 9/21/2008 by Bob Hanson, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
// JMOLJAR=xxxxx.jar on the URL for this page will override
// the JAR file specified in the jmolInitialize() call.
// The idea is that it can be very useful to test a web page with different
JAR files
// Or for an expert user to substitute a signed applet for an unsigned one
// so as to use a broader range of models or to create JPEG files, for
example.
// If the JAR file is not in the current directory (has any sort of "/" in
its name)
// then the user is presented with a warning and asked whether it is OK to
change Jar files.
// The default action, if the user just presses "OK" is to NOT allow the
change.
// The user must type the word "yes" in the prompt box for the change to be
approved.
// If you don't want people to be able to switch in their own JAR file on
your page,
// simply set this next line to read "var allowJMOLJAR = false".
You can try it out using URLs such as these:

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
