Summary: Jmol Java Script Interface Improvements

Initial Comment:
Hello.

Could it be posible to pass variables between
applications, like the actual script selected in a
JmolMenu object to a jmolLink. I've created a function
to make clickable image  Jmol.js based on the jmolLink
function. I use it to load new data into the applet, i
would like to pass data from other controls, like menus
into this function along with the script I use it for.

For example the value propertie form the select in the
jmolMenu function is an script Index instead of the
actual value.

Thanks.

Agreed with Tim, this has to be coded in Javascript by yourself.
Rather than issueing a simple "load .../jmol/molecule" as a
script, you have to add all the commands related to the
state of your controls in the script.
For example, if you have a checkbox that controls spinning,
you would use "load .../jmol/molecule; spin on" if the
checkbox is checked.

I am closing the item.

As I mentioned before, please send you request to the Jmol users list directly, 
as most users do not follow this feature request board.  I am confident there 
are many users with 'out-of-the-box' solutions to your problem.  (I have not 
had time to write one up yet, and probably won't for at least a few days.)

also, please note that you are not describing a problem with Jmol itself; the 
applet is simply rendering the 3D structure.  the interface is the Web page 
with the javascript/html, written (I presume) by yourself.

you need to reset your html form elements when you send a new load 
command to Jmol... but it is not really a Jmol issue, which is why the Jmol-
users list is your best bet.


regards,

tim d

I really really need this to work since I need to pass the
scripts I send to the applet between controls, for instance:
a checkbox and a Link.

The problem comes from loading different molecules on the
applet... When you send the script load .../jmol/molecule  etc 
everything resets on the applet. If, for example I've
created a checkbox to make the model vibrate and it is
checked, If a load another molecule this new one wont be
loaded vibrating, I have to uncheck and recheck the
checkbox... This is really anoying for an interface...

Thanks
