Comment (by gutow):
This is a general problem with all Webkit browsers operating on localhost.
This is because they will not allow any connections to network servers.
Since webkit browsers cannot handle binary files in javascript, JSmol
sends it to a server to convert to base64 encoded ascii. For testing I've
been using the server that Bob Hanson has set up for the Jmol community.
Ideally, we should include something in the notebook that can handle these
.php requests. When I set up real servers I change the address of the php
call and use the Apache that I proxy my Sage server behind. I simply do
not test locally in Webkit browsers. I do all local testing in Firefox
and then set up a beta server on the network to double check Webkit
browsers and when I'm feeling like a masochist IE (I'm so fed up with IE,
I usually just ignore it).

> There appears to be a general problem with the Chromium browser. When I
click to make the 3D image live I get a dialog box with
> {{{
> JSmolCore.js: synchronous binary file transfer is required but not
available
> }}}
> Then after clicking {{{OK}}} to remove the dialog box the 3D image
disappears with no live jmol image. There is a {{{JSmol}}} icon at the
lower right where the image should appear and right-clicking does produce
the menu, but there is no image. The dialog box only appears once.
Subsequent clicks to make other 3D images live produce no live jmols - the
{{{JSmol}}} icon being all that's present.
