Bob,Since I can eliminate the other timeouts, I wondered about that myself. I'm at USF Tampa right now. I'll set up a sample page when I get home later today.

I had problems implementing it. There's something I'm not getting right in my attempts. BUT Your terminal Jmol JavaScript command appears to be the solution to my problem. One by one, I'm able to remove these timeouts using this approach. I do need to rework my Jmol script strings, however. That terminal javascript command needs double quotes. yes it does. Unfortunately, one timeout that I can't seem to eliminate is the one on the original applet load script. APPLET_LOAD_STUFF;javascript "getFormula()" will not work.Is that because it is Jmol calling JavaScript calling Jmol? When you say, "will not work" -- why is that? I'd like to reproduce that. What do I need to do?APPLET_LOAD_STUFF;javascript "jmolInit()" works. jmolInit() simply calls getFormula() via a timeout. Unfortunately again, this is probably the cause of that random load error. One solution to this is eliminating getFormula() on an initial applet load. The same default model always loads, and I can supply this as string without the jmolScript calls in getFormula.
