I have also noted the lack of iPad touch response with the Jmol menu,
which can also be accessed with the menu command. Since I'm primarily
interested in "buttonizing" menu commands, this has not been a big
problem for me, but I can understand that this capability would be a
nice feature.
I will mention this about my experience with Jmol and the iPad. While
you are pretty much restricted to touch as click and drag, there is
one other handle. Jmol script can be used to bind double click to Jmol
scripts. This opens up a total of three iPad controls of Jmol - touch,
double touch, and drag. I have yet to encounter a complex Jmol iPad
operation that I could not implement with these controls. For example,
on the VMK:

see how double tap is used to circumvent the use of key-press
moderated model drag - move button on VMK control screen.
I haven’t had time to test your page on my wife’s iPad (she was away yesterday)
but I agree with your strategy of providing controls for the user - only a few
will be used to the drop-down menu. Your larger custom buttons make a much
easier tap target on the iPad than standard interface radio buttons or tick
boxes, although it may be possible to provide an alternative css stylesheet for
mobile - I haven’t got round to grasping that nettle yet. (Jonathan Ive
wouldn’t like them though :-) )
