Phil-

The Jmol related problem changes work for me on XP with Firefox, Chrome, and MSIE.

Java 1.6.0_19
Firefox 3.6.3

Is it possible that your use of innerHTML to load a the original applet is causing issues on some browsers/platforms when you use the newer Jmol applet?

Another thought: Would jmol.js make the problem go away? I went kicking and screaming into the use of jmol.js. I mean kicking and screaming! But the switch solved a lot of problems for me.

But here are the issues:
1. The programs have worked in the past, and were even working last week, I think. They were written about 5 years ago and have been in use since then with classes. (This was pre-Hanson time). 2. I have reorganized the site with appropriate (I think) adjustments in paths, so the issue of location would be a possibility, but I would think that non-Mozilla browsers would also not work if that was the case.
3. I observe the issue both locally and on my web site.
4. The first file is loaded fine. It is subsequent reloads of molecules into the applet that fail. They are loaded from the same place. 5. I have a colleague who has tried the site from a windows machine. IE works, Firefox does not load the applet at all. She is running Java 1.5x.
6. I have upgraded to the latest version of Jmol in the process.
7. I am running Java 1.6

Phil,

This is a problem specifically with how Mozilla browsers on the Mac pass local paths. This has been a problem for years. For local running of pages on a Mac you need to use a different browser. The issue is that the Mozilla browsers insist on passing absolute paths through the javascript. This causes a security exception when running locally. Mozilla browsers work fine from the web. I don't think we've ever tried to report this as it isn't an issue for pages from servers.

Maybe we need to add something to the Wiki. The information is included in my WebExport tutorial in the section on testing locally.

For a number of years I have had a series of tutorials that students have successfully used. I was using a pretty old version of Jmol and recently updated the website, incorporating a newer version (11.8.24). The tutorials using Jmol work fine on the Mac for all browsers except Mozilla (Firefox, Camino, Seamonkey). On these browsers the applet loads and the first structure is shown. However, subsequent reloads of the applet fail. They fail completely on windows machines with Firefox but run with IE. In the Firefox applet window on the mac I get the statement:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied

The Java console gives a permissions error as shown below.

FileManager.getAtomSetCollectionFromFile(Acyclic/M4/S.pdb) //Acyclic/M4/S.pdb FileManager opening file:/Users/pbays/Sites/Programs/Stereochemistry/Acyclic/M4/S.pdb file ERROR: file:/Users/pbays/Sites/Programs/Stereochemistry/Acyclic/M4/S.pdb java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /Users/pbays/Sites/Programs/Stereochemistry/Acyclic/M4/S.pdb read)

----
        load >> "Acyclic/M4/S.pdb" <<

Any quick clue as to what is happening and what changed? FYI: I did try 12.0RC12 and it behaved the same way.
