Bob (and Rolf),
My first attempt at a test page is here:
http://chemagic.com/localstoragetest.htm
The content may be a bit long, but the source comments indicate the bottom
line required HTML. I should also mention that I have commented out a line
of code that will automatically save the stored information on DIV blur. If
active, this will conflict with the save and retrieve buttons in the demo.
Basically, the page experiments with JME Drawing ---> jmefile in Local
Storage ---> JME Depict Image in Content Editable DIV. Jmolers may be
tempted to say that you don't need the middle step here, but this is the
whole point: Bringing persistent memory to a Jmol/JSME interactive page.
I agree with much of what Rolf had to say about this approach. By the way,
thanks Rolf for the feedback.
I light of Rolf's comments, I want to emphasize that what I'm after is a
persistent memory - not long term storage. Back-up of notes/slides is an
important aspect of this, and I really need to do some work on this. My
current cut/save/paste of a JSON string is clumsy at best.
Philosophical Note:
All of this dates back to my early classroom projector days. I never used
Power Point - way to limiting for a chemistry classroom. I always took my
"slides" to class as DHTML (archaic term!) "slides" on a memory device.
First, Chime, then Jmol were part of the reason for this, but in truth, you
could do much more with HTML than you could do with Power Point, at least
in a chemistry classroom. HTML5 just gives this approach more power.
