I think you are completely right. The problem is that I am not savvy
in javascript debugging. Plus the GWT does some funny things
(crosscompiling etc) that lead to a crash of the JVM (due to non
native function) if i try to initialize the Jmol applet in a GWT page.
This "crash" makes it relatively hard to debug...

I circumvented the whole problem by using a non-GWT jsp page that
displays my files.

The other solution is - as I already said - not to use the Jmol.js and
it's functions, but to embed Jmol as <object ...>. At least in the
latest versions of IE and Firefox this imho works. But Angel is right
- the complete Browser abstraction layer gets lost + the nice Jmol.js
functions (buttons etc) get lost too.

Another question is, if anybody out there managed to get Jmol.js up
and running in a AJAX DOM changing application. At least for prototype
I know it does not work either... I'll make that a separate thread...


Thanks for your help!
