Hello Jay, This may go without saying, but I'll say it just in case you're not sure. Whatever color picking tool (interface) you use, have the user selected color put into a global JavaScript variable. Alternatively, create the global variable in Jmol script itself. If this variable is called sColor, then Bob's callback script then becomes:
In JavaScript --> var scr = "select within(group, selected);color " + sColor + ";" In Jmol script directly --> select within(group, selected);color @sColor; In either case, here are example sColor assignments that would occur at the color selection tool: sColor = "[xFF00FF]" or sColor = "magenta" If you use the Jmol script approach, the global can be defined in the applet load script - e.g. var sColor = "". In the JavaScript approach, the global is defined in a page load script declaration section. Jonathan may already have global hooks set in the color widget. I'm not sure. I'm still a bit confused about when a Jmol variable goes global. I know from experience it goes global if declared in the load script as suggested above. I'm not sure if it can be Jmol globalized in a widget. It can, of course, be JavaScript globalized by simply keeping its original declaration outside of any function.
