Update on JavaScript and Jmol:
JavaScript/HTML5-only Jmol ("JSmol") is now nearly fully functional.
Demonstration is at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/test2.htm
We still need to work on file loading, animation, minimization, spinning,
and vibration, but pretty much all the rest is there. We have full
translucency, surfaces (including molecular orbitals and contacts), text,
antialiasing, SMILES/SMARTS searching, direct database calling, and
scripting just like for standard Jmol (because it IS Jmol). Performance is
slower, of course, but considering the overall capabilities, that might be
a reasonable trade-off in most applications. All without WebGL. So that
means it's fully compatible on all platforms with reasonably modern
browsers (having HTML5). We still need to work on the WebGL version,
because that offers some speed advantages, for sure, though also some
different limitations, I think, such as platform incompatibility.
