The following code doesn't work because of the '>>' substring of reaction smiles. Anyone can suggest a way to do it?

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function open_similar(id,smiles){

msgWindow=window.open('',id,'width=250,height=250')

msgWindow.document.write ("<HEAD><TITLE>" + id + "</TITLE></HEAD><body>")

msgWindow.document.write ("<center>" + id + "<br><applet CODEBASE=\"http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin\" ARCHIVE=\"jmarvin.jar\" CODE=\"JMView\" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200><param NAME=\"mol\" VALUE=" + smiles + "><strong>(YOU CANNOT SEE A JAVA APPLET HERE)</strong></applet></center>")

msgWindow.document.write ("</body></html>")

}

</script>

<a href=javascript:open_similar("Molecule","O=C1CCCCC1")>M1</a><br>

<a href=javascript:open_similar("Reaction","O=C1CCCCC1>>OC1CCCCC1")>M1 to M2</a><br>

Changing '>>' to '>>' also doesn't work.

perhaps you should try putting a backslash character \ in front of each >.

Oh, I see. You need to put the smiles string after VALUE inside quotes:

msgWindow.document.write ("<center>" + id + "<br><applet CODEBASE=\"http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin\" ARCHIVE=\"jmarvin.jar\" CODE=\"JMView\" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200><param NAME=\"mol\" VALUE=\"" + smiles + "\"><strong>(YOU CANNOT SEE A JAVA APPLET HERE)</strong></applet></center>")

Bob is right.

Just one note.

Encoding of the '>' characters are also required in the URL:

Code:

<a href=javascript:open_similar("Reaction","O=C1CCCCC1>>OC1CCCCC1")>M1 to M2</a><br>
