Jmol (v14.1.16) is not agreeing with Java 7.65 update (both Windows and OS X, several browsers).
The test page: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/jsmol.htm "JSmol/Java" link works with Java 7.51, it does not load with Java 7.65 (no error messages, see below). Does ___JmolVersion="14.2.3_2014.07.12" works with Java 7.65? Where can this version be downloaded?
