Hi Eric, The issue is that OSes and Java log ago converted to 64-bit numbers. Chrome for some reason only known to Google has not been released as a 64-bit application. Thus it is running in a sort of "emulation" mode. What this means is the JavaApplet Plugin does not work with Chrome. My solution has been to make pages that by default load JSmol and give people the option to reload the page using java applets (which are definitely faster) if their browser can handle it. This also avoids the problem of not being able to tell whether the user has disabled java applets in the browser.
