First part is right -- no single quotes in the Jmol JAVASCRIPT command.
(Same for MESSAGE and ECHO -- these commands either take no quotes or double
quotes because they always have.)
The message from MSIE is coming from the applet when it tries to run the
browser's eval method. Jmol first checks with
eval(!!_jmol.noEval)
This is supposed to return FALSE if _jmol.noEval is undefined, null, or
false.

There's a bug report with Java related to this:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4324382
that long variable name is actually created by Java. But that's 10 years
old.
I'm also using 8.0.6001 and not seeing any issue.
