Bob et al.,
Progress has been made on a popup menu for JSmol. I've implemented
PopupMenu, MenuItem, CheckboxMenuItem, and RadioButtonMenuItem, among other
things. Check it out:
http://www.metallacycle.com/play/netmol/tests/popupMenu/jmolPopupMenu.js
The demo is still functional as well:
http://www.metallacycle.com/play/netmol/tests/popupMenu/popupMenu.html
Two things I'm struggling with:
1) What's the difference between a ButtonGroup and a set of
RadioButtonMenuItems?
2) Event handling in general. For example, a checkbox menu item doesn't
"know" its parent, so when it's clicked, it can't run commands on its
parent applet without bubbling an event up to its parent jmol object. I
will continue to work on this, but event handling in JS is not one of my
specialties. I'll look into custom events mediated by jQuery, but in the
meantime, if there are any JS event experts out there, help would be
appreciated! :-)
Is this what you had in mind, Bob?
Cheers, Mike
