Sounds good!!
Actually, I am on a Mac using Safari. And I call a function because I want to
do some other stuff in setting up the problem. The following is my preliminary
function script. The first three lines are attempts to clear the applet.
Only the void line works. (I understand Bob's nah, but I do not understand
why the other two do not do the job.) It is true on Mac FireFox as well. All
three lines are obviously currently commented out. But using any one of them
fails -- except the void reset
function newProblem(){
//document.getElementById("JME").readMolecule("");
//void JME.reset();
//document.getElementById("JME").reset();
Problem = Problem + 1;
document.getElementById("IUPAC").innerHTML = Compound[Problem][0];
}
