Thanks Bob and Angel for your help - I now see where I was going wrong. I have made a simple page which calls setXHTML() and the page validates as HTML5 using the W3 validator. That's a file with .html extension. An ePub3 requires the extension to be .xhtml. When I save as .xhtml I get the error:
SyntaxError: An invalid or illegal string was specified core.z.js (line 2490) I experimented with different xhtml/html5 templates (i.e. the DOCTYPE and xmlns bits) but without success. Bob raises two important questions: >Greg, tell us more about ePub3 and what might be possible here with Jmol. >How popular is ePub3 at this point? ePub3 is very new and it's not yet clear how popular it may be. Our current primary delivery route is via a Moodle VLE. So that students can study offline, we are looking into ePub3 as an alternative format. I have successfully included JSmol in our VLE pages and it would be great to have a fully-functional ePub3 with working JSmol. >Question: How would an ePub3 document access the required JavaScript libraries? Each interactive activity is included as a zip file - you can include JS library files alongside your HTML/other files. So, as long as you can have all of your files 'locally' and not have to rely on loading files in via http over the web, most kinds of interactive activity should work in an ePub3.
