Ah, that sounds familiar. Correct. There is no "document.write" in XHTML.
Sorry. That pretty much rules it out.
As I recall Egon at one point wrote a DOM-specific XHTML version of a page
that worked with Jmol, though not Jmol.js.
But you don't necessarily have to have Jmol.js to use Jmol. You just have to
work harder to do it without.
So what is the deal with "inline SVG"?
