First, congratulations to the developers who ported Jmol from Java to JavaScript / HTML5. It really satisfies the need for allowing Jmol to continue in the tablet environment and in a locked-down student desktop environment. It must have been a huge amount of work. Well done!
It's a long time since I was on the Jmol mailing list or did any work with Jmol, but I still have a web application serving three-dimensional protein motifs that uses Jmol (http://motif.gla.ac.uk), and some teaching material I created with this is still used by others (I am semi-retired now). It was in this latter context that I decided to convert from Jmol to JSmol, which I had only recently discovered by chance when on the PDB site. I decided to try to convert to the most minimal non-Java setup, and for the most part this has been successful - the pdb files are loading and displaying. You can see one of them at: https://www.mvls.gla.ac.uk/Teaching/SLS-Molecules/njmol.html The legacy scripts behind the JavaScript checkboxes (jmolCheckbox) on these pages generally worked, but there were a couple that did not. One was the "hbonds on", which failed (and I commented out), but while composing this message I have discovered works with a preceeding "hbonds calculate". The second is the spin. Previously if I had spin running and operated the toggle between side view and base-stacking view the spin continued. Now it does not. The scripts are: Jmol.jmolCheckbox(myJmol, "spin off; spin on;", "spin on; spin off;", " Spin", true); // for spin Jmol.jmolCheckbox(myJmol, "reset;", "reset;rotate x 90;", " Toggle Base-stacking view"); // for flip between views I can't just put in a command "spin on" after the flip because the user might have turned spin off and in that case the result would be wrong. Anyone know why this has changed (it was a very old version of Jmol java I was using) and, more to the point, is there a way to put in a conditional statement so that the original spin state (on or off) is restored?
