Doesn't work from a page-side perspective. You can't detect if Java is
available any more, and when it is, the page "holds" until it is
functional. So that's a real problem. From the server, you can certainly
find out if it is mobile or not, and guess that only HTML5 will work.
WebGL development is still minimal -- doesn't seem to be a future in that
for the iPad; only minimally supported in JSmol.
There's an "image only" option that I thought might allow the server to
create the view and send it, but that turns out to require too much dead
time waiting for the server to process the script.
The only clear autoswitching that works from the page is "If no HTML5, use
Java" for older browsers.

That's all set. It's a couple of flags in the Info block. This does work
well.

All set, but not built in. I know someone was doing this.

Well, if it's all JavaScript, what does that mean?

Basically JSmol is precisely the same as Jmol, just all in JavaScript.
