Bob, I wanted to do this directly (bypass Jmol) because I don’t want to use the JSmol window. I’ve been using a JQuery AJAX call to do this, but this started to fail recently. After doing some research, I saw that this was a common problems because of browser problems. There are a number of solutions, including a new browser standard - all convoluted as heck in my opinion.
Am I missing something here? In order to get that PubChem sdf directly into a JavaScript variable, I need to use AJAX. Is this point correct? There’s another possibility: JQuery has an app library for AJAX that supposedly handles this problem $.ajax. Recently, I started using JSmol.min.nojq. Is it possible that this is the origin of my problem - i.e. Jmol JQuery uses the AJAX app? I guess one solution would be to include a faceless Jmol applet to do this dirty work for me. Is the faceless applet still an option?
