hmm...is there some way I could have had things default to restrictive settings during my upgrade?
All I did was 1) upgrade my windows test machine to SP3 2) test pages in IE7 (most with javascript stopped working even when I allowed scripts to run at the warning) 3) thought maybe SP3 didn't play nice with IE7 so upgraded to IE8 (same result) 4) things finally worked when I went in and manually set the "active scripting" and "script applets" to allowed in the tools >internet settings >custom level... dialog. I found comments about this on the internet, so maybe we do need to somehow trap this (how? since javascript is completely shut down) and give people instructions on how to make it work. See for example: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-118786-enable-javascript-in-internet-explorer-8 Once I got things working the only problem I've encountered is that IE8 does not implement node.parentNode. I don't think we use that in Jmol.js, but I was using it to dynamically build a test page.
