Dear Alice, Thanks for your report. You have followed the appropriate route, although something has stopped your message from the usual path.

Not sure, but this might happen in you are not a subscriber of the list. We may need to rephrase the original advice. > My original message is below. > As you can see in the attached screen shot, the Jmol Browser check > says my browser (Safari 6.05) is okay, but Jmol.js reports: > You do not have Java applets enabled in your web browser, or your > browser is blocking this applet.<br /> All that message is normal when you do not have Java installed. Unfortunately, recent updates to Java have made detection tricky if not plainly impossible, so occasionally the message is displayed under wrong circumstances. For example, Java may be installed but disallowed in the broswer, and the yellow message will be displayed. The detection algorithm is old and it may indeed be impossible to update it to be effective in those difficult cases. Sorry. That's one of the reasons why JSmol has been developed as an alternative, but the switch from Jmol to JSmol must be done by the page author and so does not happen quickly. > I get this text displayed on a yellow background in the Jmol frame > when I open pages from Proteopedia.org.

That is reasonable, although tehre may be something else needed to unlock Java applets. Try to see if there are Java Security options somewhere in the system (Control Panel in Windows) or in the browser, other than the classical ones you are describing as correctly set. I have no experience with MacOS, so maybe you could post your problem in the jmol-users list and others will guide you. Better, I will forward your message to the list; make sure you are subscribed to jmol-users so you receive replies. > To complicate matters - Jmol works fine in Safari 6.05 on pages from > the Protein Data Bank.

Yes, that's the sort of thing that escapes easy answers: different browsers following different policies.

If those are your pages, one option is to change them. Were you using Jmol.js or manually edited applet tags? If not, edit the pages to use Jmol.js, as it acters better for different browsers. In any case, you may also consider changing your pages to JSmol (see the Jmol WIki for advice). Otherwise, the Java policies are anyway hard to diagnose now. For example, I cannot run my own pages from local disk now, but they run fine from the web server. That's Java protecting me from myself :) Hard to explain. > Alice Harmon > Professor > Dept of Biology > University of Florida ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
