Bob,
I found the problem with the getFormula() on load. The javascript call
from the load script works when the timeout is used, but I had another
piece of code that hid this fact:
document.getElementById("calcDisplay").value = ""
This was squirreled away in a page onload init function. Without the
timeout Jmol beat the page on load to the punch. The above code is a
page testing remnant that I never removed.
Another timeout bites the dust! I'm hoping I can complete the removal of
these darn things before I go to bed tonight.

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.

Bob,
I found the jmolScriptWait(scpt) documentation on the jmol.js
documentation page. 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.
