Thanks, Bob!

We wind up running in some restricted network environments and
anything that is not on the designated server will either be really slow or
won’t work. I guess some faculty and academic IT folks are really
serious about classroom management.

I did notice in poking around that the latency of the 
stolaf.edu<http://stolaf.edu>
call and the subsequent call to google analytics varied a lot depending
on the day and time that I looked.

Loading 1ebm.pdb with JSmol from my JavaScript on my home laptop
with tracking disabled takes about 3 1/2 seconds.  This is pretty consistent.
When I reenable Jmol tracking, loading can vary from a little under 4 sec to
over 6 sec. Tracking was quick on Sunday morning EST and slower Monday
afternoon.

I really like JSmol.  It is amazingly quick.  Great work!

Sure. I'd love to have all stats, but feel free to turn that off. Just add

delete Jmol._tracker

somewhere after loading JSmol.min.js

Hi,

When running JSmol, I noticed that there was a network message sent to
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/JmolTracker.htm?id=UA-45940799-1' and some 
google analytics activity.

I’d like to turn this tracking off.

On searching around JSmol I found the following:

Jmol._track = function(applet) {
  // this function inserts an iFrame that can be used to track your page's 
applet use.
  // By default it tracks to a page at St. Olaf College, but you can change 
that.
  if (Jmol._tracker && !Jmol._isLocal){
  try {
    var url = Jmol._tracker + "&applet=" + applet._jmolType + "&version=" + 
Jmol._version
      + "&appver=" + self.___JmolVersion + "&url=" + 
encodeURIComponent(document.location.href);
    var s = '<iframe style="display:none" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" 
tabindex="-1" src="' + url + '"></iframe>'
    Jmol.$after("body", s);
  } catch (e) {
    // ignore
  }}
  delete Jmol._tracker;
  return applet;
}

    // this url is used to Google Analytics tracking of Jmol use. You may 
remove it or modify it if you wish.
Jmol._tracker: 
'http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/JmolTracker.htm?id=UA-45940799-1',
Jmol._isLocal: (document.location.protocol.toLowerCase().indexOf("file:") == 0),

My choices for turning tracking off in my javascript seem to be:

1. set Jmol._tracker to false.
2. set Jmol._local to true.
3. set Jmol._track to function(applet) {return applet}
4. all of the above
5. something else

Choices 1,2, and 3 all seem to remove tracking either independently or when 
used together.

What would you recommend for my long term solution?

Thanks,

—Chuck
