Hi Dina, I’ve been experimenting with both of these approaches to loading molecules with Jmol over the week. Both approaches are very fast. Originally I thought that it would be faster if I had only one jmolObject (applet) for all the molecules, zapping the old molecule before loading the new one. In the last day or so, I decided to try using one jmolObject per molecule. I think that using one jmolObject (applet) per molecule makes my code simpler, particularly when switching between molecules in the show/hide approach. When I switch between molecules, I throw away the old jmolObject with its supporting html and reconstruct the supporting html with a new jmolObject. I keep my scripts and rotation information tucked away in a browser localStorage JSON data structure that I call “model”. While this may seem like a wasteful approach, it is simple, very robust, and fast, due in no small part to the speed that Jmol loads molecules.
