It turns out that what I describe below is actually Safari crashing. While attempts to bind double click drag in Web applications seem to exacerbate the crashes, this thing is just flat out buggy. Puffin, actually a much better browser for iPad and JSmol right now, is crashing also, again exacerbated by attempts to bind double click drag. Binding in JSmol has utility at the desktop and laptop level, so I'm going to continue trying different approaches to avoid modifier keys for basic model manipulation. I'm not going to waste time on iPad right now, however. I've talked to a colleague who is having problems with other iPad apps crashing as well. This is a new OS with problems that Apple will get around to fixing at some point. Perhaps it's functioning better on the newer iPads. Either way, I'll let the dust settle for a while.

Try to use double click drag in JSmol, and you often (OK always) end up back on the home screen. Well, I guess if it's 4 OR 5 fingers, it might as well be tap, tap, drag - close enough. > > I'm working on an iPad 2. > > There may be other JSmol bind options in what Bob has done with the bindings that will allow dodging modifier keys. > > Watch this space... > > Otis > > -- > Otis Rothenberger > ot...@ch... > http://chemagic.com > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! > 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint > 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
