Unfortunately, Apple introduced and released a rather severe bug with the
Java Update dated 10 Aug 2004 (if I remember correctly).

It crashes when making calls through LiveConnect from JavaScript to Java
applets.

Several people have filed bugs. I believe that most have been marked as
duplicates, so Apple is aware of the problem.

It is somewhat surprising/discouraging that there has been no new news on
this subject.

I am sure it will be posted on jmol-users when they correct the problem.
