Re: [Jmol-users] problem in firefox

[Jeff H. <jh...@de...>]

Thanks for your help Angel.  This is getting me very nearly there.  To  
recap.  I am trying to create a web page in which a div element is  
created and a new Jmol applet is displayed in that new div.  Your  
suggestion to take a look at the Jmol homepage was very helpful.  That  
is essentially what I needed to do.  Based on that I came up with the  
following code.  It creates the new div and puts a Jmol applet in it.   
However, it does not load the molecule file into the the applet.  The  
message bar at the bottom of the window shows the following error  
message: script compiler ERROR: command expected----    >>>>"load ../ 
Jmol/jmol/Models/benzene.smol;"<<<<

Additionally, the alert(result1) (see code below) displays undefined  
in the alert box and alert(result2) displays a blank alert box.  So  
I'm wondering what is going on with that.

Here is the code.  molecule refers to a structure filename.  Thanks to  
Bob for the divFind and divWrite functions.

function divFind(name,issilent){
	var d=document.getElementById(name);
//	if(!d&&!issilent&&debugPrint)debugPrint("couldn't find "+name,1)
	return d
}

function divWrite(name,what){
	result1 = jmolGetStatus("scriptStatus");
	alert(result1);
	var d=divFind(name);
	if(!d)return 0;
	try{d.innerHTML=what}catch(error){alert(error)};
	result2 = jmolGetStatus("scriptStatus",divInc);
	alert(result2);
	return d;
}

function jmolObject(molecule, divID){
	jmolSetDocument(false);
	this.loadString = "\"load ../Jmol/jmol/Models/" + molecule + ";" +  
"\"";
	alert(this.loadString);
	divWrite(divID,jmolApplet(400, this.loadString,divInc));
}
var divInc = 0;
function newJmolDiv(molecule) {
	var newDiv = document.createElement('div');
	newDiv.id = 'Div' + (++divInc);
	document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
	jmolObject(molecule, newDiv.id);
}
