Michael, the way I read your message I think your problem is very likely due to the browser caching the file (that's either the browser cache or Java cache).
You say that structure A has never been in the server. Then, where did it come from? I guess it is loaded into Jmol at page load time. If not so, you muts find where is it. Then, when a new structure is server-generated, because it has the same name the cache will think it''s got it already and display that instead of downloading the (new) structure. When you request Jmol to download, it probably makes another request from the server, then gets the correct structure. Everything makes sense to me in terms of cache. You need to make the browser think that the file(name) it is retrieving is different every time. Try adding a random number or text, maybe as part of a non-significant parameter (for web pages, the "search" part of location, i.e. the text after "?" in the url, achieves this effect). Apart from that, in reply to David's comments: > Firstly, generate the .pdb server-side as .txt file instead, then load > it in your web browser with the same URL you're using for Jmol, and > tell Jmol to load it as a .pdb, to make 100% sure the remote file is > the new structure and you have read access to that file remotely. Jmol does not care what the extension or mimetype is. It will read the file and determine the format from its content. > Secondly, I don't know how good your programming skills are, but you > can very easily use AJAX to call a PHP script which will read your > file, passed as POST parameter to the PHP script (e.g. > http://myserver/myscript.php?fileid=xxxx).

That may work, but inline models are tricky, mostly because of the handling of line breaks / carriage returns across OSs. I would avoid that if there is any other solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Jmol-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users
