[Jmol-developers] <applet> vs <object>
|

I'm restarting this Jmol-users thread from Henry Rzepa on the jmol-developer
list, because I'm trying to understand where we are headed with Jmol.
Miguel's new Jmol.js starts to address this applet/object issue head on. Hurray!
Probably one of the best arguments for using Jmol.js I've seen to date. I'm all
for it.
Q: What is the current status of use of Jmol.js in terms of XHTML compliance?
Can we, for example, use
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
now and have compliant code using Jmol.js?
Q: Are we aiming for -strict on this? yes? no? ultimately?
What I'm thinking is that <applet mayscript="mayscript"> is NOT allowed in
xhtml1-transitional, even though <applet> is.
Q: So if I include a transitional DOCTYPE, and Jmol.js throws in an <applet
mayscript> tag for some browser on the fly, is that a problem? Will I lose my
scripting?
Q: What happens when you include a transitional DOCTYPE, then introduce
nonvalidating code? Does it work anyway?
