It does not work for me either with Chrome (non-free) and Sun Java on
*Ubuntu 11.10*.   I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 from Ubuntu
11.04 (where things worked), and jmol stopped working for me.   This
is because they removed the Sun java's.   I added some ppa that added
them back, installed them, and everything worked again.   Then today I
did the standard upgrade of packages in Ubuntu 11.10 stable today, and
use of jmol in Sage is broken again, both locally and at sagenb.org.

When I try to use Chrome or Safari on OS X Lion (10.7) instead of
Linux, it also fails to show 3d and has a "missing plugin" message.
By clicking and waiting, and downloading 65MB of things from Apple,
this... gets fixed, and works.   Evidently, OS X really doesn't
include Java anymore by default (and upgrading an OS X that does
results in one that doesn't).

I'm looking forward to when Sage has a viable browser-based 3d display
option that doesn't depend on Java applets.   Surely there is
something out there we can use -- I've been waiting forever.  Has
HTML5 got good enough yet?
