1) JavaScript not enabled. I don't think we have to worry about this. Anyone
except a Jmol web page developer will hit problems with just about any page
when JavaScript is not enabled -- Google, gmail, anything. It's utterly
ridiculous these days to have JavaScript disabled by default. But if that's
the case, essentially nothing will work, and the user will get frustrated
and get this fixed long before finding Jmol.
2) Applet scripting. As far as I can see, this setting doesn't matter. I
suspect it just overrides a missing MAYSCRIPT tag of the applet objcet. In
other words, if you enable it, then you can script even applets that don't
allow scripting.
So I'm not sure this is an issue.
