re: [Jmol-users] applet tag attributes vs param tags

[Craig T. M. <cm...@ch...>]

This works great now!! Thanks, that was the last major hurdle in getting my 
"Shell" program truly useful.

One minor complaint: on the Mac (Safari), but not on the PC (FireFox), the 
picking event does not appear to get sent until the next click of the 
mouse. In other words, I click on an atom, the message bar of the browser 
reports the click, but my routine doesn't get called. When I next click in 
the window, on an atom or not, the message call back occurs for the 
previous click... This is happening with 10v17 (haven't checked w/ earlier 
versions). By the way, 10v17 is great! Thanks for the update/fixes!

Another minor complaint: the target for hover and click seems too small. 
You have to be pretty close to the center of the atom, even at large 
magnifications. Can you increase the size of the click target (without, of 
course having overlapping targets)?

Minor complaints aside,

Thanks!!!
