Wow. I find it hard to believe that my Stereochemistry page did not behave properly that long ago. We are about to leave town so I do not have time to look at this for another week or so. But it would be interesting to have you test the following URL with an old version of Firefox:
www.saintmarys.edu/~pbays/Stereochemistery.html Choose option 3. The others use the signed applet at the moment. If this is the case, then things point to jmol or Java 1.6, I think. Is it possible to checK a page out with an old version of jmol and an old version of firefox? Snow Leopard could also be the culprit. I note that Bob is running 10.5, not 10.6 and that he does not observe the issue. All of the Mozilla browsers use the Java Embedding Plugin to enable java applets. Disabling that kills jmol altogether. That has not been updated in awhile and I am wondering if that is an issue. I have written the author but not received a response. I have also confirmed the Firfox 4.0b1 throws the jmol.js error, but does load chloropyll, even when it is in Java Cache. I will continue to watch the beta releases to see when they institute something that kills it. Phil On Jul 26, 2010, at 9:55 AM, Jeff Hansen wrote: > Ok.
