All of a sudden today I'm "out of business" developing Jmol applet-based web pages. And apparently so are all users of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Apparently Apple has blocked the use of java applets by blocking the current java version on Snow Leopard, 1.6.0_37. I didn't know they could do that! Applets are blocked in all browsers. When you load a page with Jmol applet, you see a small gray "Inactive plug-in". When you click on that, it runs Apple Updates, which tells you that there are no updates -- you are up to date. The Jmol application still runs.

And at least once a day your computer will be reset to block java. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4761112?tstart=0 Ouch! What is the experience on Lion and Mountain Lion? I can still run both java 6 and 7 applets in web browsers in Windows. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
