Bob, I realize that there is probably naiveté in my question, but I'll ask anyway. Is there .js code in the sea of jsmol .js code that is essentially MMFF94 isolated from the jsmol page DOM? By this I mean something like molfile in, number crunch, and molfile out.
I started playing around with something called HTML5 Web Workers. It's a built in HTML5 way of bringing asynchronous threading to javascript. I was working on a bird photography page (a calendar), when it occurred to me that it might be fun to try using this on my jsmol model kit. The problem is that while the web page can exchange info, including messaging, with the Worker. The Worker has no access to window or document objects directly. Basically, it will run any javascript in the background, but you have to send it everything it needs for a given process. It keeps up an ongoing conversation with the page - messages and results, but the page has to act on the DOM with these results. I'd like to try running MMFF94 in the background using this technology. I realize that you already do this with minimize. I just want to play with this aspect of HTML5 using something jsmol related.
