Fixes some recently described bugs but also tries some new ways to load
files, so no guarantees! I would appreciate testing, especially on Macs and
tablets, which I have not done myself. I have tested it on Firefox, MSIE,
and Chrome for Windows.
What I am experimenting with is fully asynchronous file transfer, both for
data files and for code files. I have made a lot of progress, but it is
still not ready. The setting
Jmol._isAsync
set to true would enable that, but it is set to false. What I need to know
is, with it set false, which is supposed to be essentially what we have had
before, does everything work? There was a lot of adjusting in the code, so
probably not.
If you want to experiment with
Jmol._isAsync = true
feel free. I know that is only partially working. Some classes still don't
load asynchronously. And some that do don't report back properly when they
are loaded in order to resume processing correctly. I can load caffeine and
PDB files and XML files. The console log looks MUCH cleaner, though:
"JSmol load jmolApplet0 loadClazz..." JSmol.min.js:268
"JSmol load jmolApplet0 start applet..." JSmol.min.js:268
"JSmol exec jmolApplet0 loadClazz null -- OK" JSmol.min.js:270
"JSmol exec jmolApplet0 start applet null -- OK" JSmol.min.js:270
"xhr.open async=true url=data/caffeine.mol" JSmol.min.js:177
syntax error caffeine.mol:1
"xhr.open async=true url=http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1d66.pdb";
JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1d66.pdb";
JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1blu.pdb";
JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1d66.pdb";
JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/4tra.pdb";
JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=data/estron.cml" JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open async=true url=data/vasp.xml" JSmol.min.js:177
"xhr.open binary async=true url=data/dna.pse" JSmol.min.js:192
Note that there are no notifications for code .js files, because all of
those are now coming in asynchronously as DOM script objects.
Specifically, note the missing message:
*Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its
detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help
http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ <http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/> *
because there is no synchronous file transfer for those cases. So that is
definitely progress, and I am convinced it will all work soon enough.
