It seems that the first hit is caused by document.write not being supported
by XHTML (documented in several websites)
My test:
XHTML 1.0 Transitional
_jmol.currentDocument.write(text);
at line line 834 within
function _jmolDocumentWrite(text) {
throws an error in Firefox 3
No error in Opera, but no applet
Clue:
Does document.write work in XHTML?
No. Because of the way XML is defined, it is not possible to do tricks like
this, where markup is generated by scripting while the parser is still parsing
the markup.
You can still achieve the same effects, but you have to do it by using the
DOM to add and delete elements.
(source: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#docwrite)
And quoting
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/JmolAppletGuide.html#XHTMLSupport
the standard Jmol.js Javascript library will not work under properly
compliant XML browsers. An alternative, largely similar, but entirely
unsupported library is available ... insert address here ...
(that JmolAppletGuide doc is old --Miguel's times? ... but true indeed)
I've tested the alternative to document.write given at
http://weston.ruter.net/projects/xhtml-document-write/
http://shepherd-interactive.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/xhtml-document-
write/xhtml-document-write.js
and, althogh it does not solve the problem, is on its way:
Opera displays a functional applet, but below it is the yellow box that says
"you don't have Java" (generated by Jmol.js)
Firefox displays a Java box with an error, applet class not found, and the
yellow box below it
IE8 displays nothing --seems not to like xhtml at all --even with no Jmol
code in the page, it just displays a blank page and does a download --of the
page?.
More to come...
