1. Does not require LiveConnect so will work with IE6 Windows, which 
I assume does not support LiveConnect.
2. This I am less certain of, but...
I am using a Servlet calling a cgi script to generate the Jmol page 
on the fly. I am using (and believe that I am obliged to use) 
absolute urls for my applet and any .js and .css files I use. One of 
the Jmol doc pages on the JavaScript library states that it is a *bad 
idea* to use absolute urls, although it does not say why or whether 
it is still possible. As I found a page that used toggle buttons 
without the JavaScript library I went for that.
