Hi,
Thanks for the help. I got something going with JQuery UI. I was in a bit
of a muddle, trying to make a call from the Jmol.js JavaScript gui
facilities, back into Java Jmol, and out again to JavaScript. Better to
just do it in JavaScript/JQuery. Hard to keep a clear picture of all the
layers sometimes :=)
This seems to be a minimal code to get the job done.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js";></script>
<style>
#helpPanel { font-size: 12px; }
// Can't suss how to reduce big fat font in titlebar
</style>
<input type="button" id="helpButton" value="Help" title="Help page, via
JQuery UI Dialog" />
<div id="helpPanel" title="Help Panel">
A page or two of help information ....
etc etc etc ...
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#helpPanel").dialog( { autoOpen: false, width: 1000, height: 550} );
});
$('#helpButton').click(function() {
$("#helpPanel").dialog('open');
return false;
});
</script>
