[Jmol-developers] jmolApplet call appears to ignore my applet suffix?

[Jonathan G. <gu...@uw...>]

I'm looking for some ideas here.

I have been working on some additional javascript code that  
automatically limits the number of live jmol applets on a page to  
avoid memory problems.  Here's my problem:

1) In a simple page that loads once, repeated javascript calls that  
replace an applet with a picture and then put the applet back using  
jmolApplet(size, script, n) work fine.  The applet is repeatedly  
replaced with the appletID = 'jmolApplet'+n.

2) I'm trying to make this work for the SAGEmath people.  In that  
case, I get the odd behavior that each time I try to reload the applet  
with the jmolApplet(size, script, n) call the n seems to be ignored  
and the automatic numbering in Jmol.js takes over.  The pages are  
dynamic, but the Jmol div is defined by me through javascript.

I could make a special version of Jmol.js, but I would like to have  
SAGEmath use as standard Jmol protocols as possible.  Any ideas, what  
could be causing the problem? Is it an odd javascript parsing  
problem?  The n does not seem to be ignored for the first placement of  
the applet.

Thanks for your input.
