Bob,
If I do a page load with:
<body>
<span id="jmol1">
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
jmolApplet(300, 'load ../models/methane.mol;javascript
"alert(1234)";')
</script>
</span>
</body>
All is well in MSIE. If I do the console test, all is well in MSIE
However, the console on my loaded applet, which obviously has a problem,
chokes on exactly the same console entry in MSIE: javascript "alert(1234)"
The exact error is:
0 atoms selected
14 atoms selected
script ERROR: invalid argument
----
evalintermediatevaluetoreturn = eval >> ( << "!!_jmol.noEval" )
Clearly, MSIE does not like something on my page. The applet behaves
properly in all other respects in MSIE. I did not know that a page
problem could screw up the applet console.
It sure looks like your assertion is correct. Do you have any idea why
MSIE and the Jmol console could be giving a hoot about 0 atoms selected
and 14 atoms selected on a simple javascript alert command??

Bob,
I ran into this problem when I needed to hold off on an inline load of
Indiana University SMILES to molfile data until after an applet was
loaded with a starter Xe model. The Xe is a quick load and it looks
pretty sitting there while a "please wait" message echos on the
screen. Once this Xe is loaded (applet and the model data), I can do
business with the IU data. The Jmol javascript command in the load
script worked, but not in MSIE.
In trying to track this down, I used all of the following in the console:
1) javascript alert("nuts")
2) javascript 'alert("nuts")'
3) javascript "alert('nuts')"
Item 2 does not work. For items 1 and 3, Firefox and Chrome say, "nuts."
MSIE (8.0.6001...) says:
evalintermediatevaluetoreturn = eval >> ( << "!!_jmol.noEval" )
Perhaps I have a syntax error in my script, but with the above result,
I called it quits on MSIE. Let me go back and check this out. Maybe
the console wasn't the way to test this. Also, I have not checked this
recently. The above information was in an email to you a while back,
and I was using an older version of Jmol - the HOLD version, I think!
I'll get back to you after lunch.

Jonathan,
3) MSIE (see below)
MSIE seems to completely ignore the Jmol Javascript command. The only
way I've found around this is to use browser sniffing and write a
clumsy
Timeout routine to call the JmolLoaded() function in MSIE
I think we have talked about this, but I'm forgetting the details. I
have not seen this in any of my own production work, and I do not
believe it is true. Can you give us an example, Otis?
You are saying that the following does not work in MSIE?
jmolApplet(300,'javascript "alert(1234)";')
?
You sure? Please test that, Otis.

the message callback information seems to get garbled as to which
applet the message comes from (maybe the messages are
overlapping). I have no way of knowing ahead of time how many
applets are on a page as they are created on the fly by the server.

run a function that queries each applet in sequence _after_ they

callback as it finishes loading. So I'm looking for a way to
know that the page is ready for me to do this.
