applet problem in Mac

Hi,


I've just installed MarvinSpace v5.0 in my web server, but my browser (Safari 3.0) hangs when I try to visualize some molecules.





Mac OS X 10.5.2


Safari 3.0.4





It works fine in Windows XP, IE 7.





Thanks,


Sunhwan

Hi Sunhwan,





I check applets on this page


http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/example-mspace-index.html and they worked all right (MacOS X 10.4.11, java 1.5 and Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12).





Do these applets examples work for you?





Regards,


Miklos

Miklos,





Thanks for the suggestion. It worked fine in my browser.


I'm bit curious because my applet doesn't work in Safari works fine in IE.


Ok, I'll work on it more and let you know what happened.





Thanks,


Sunhwan

Milkos,





It seems like Safari compatibility issue is related with Javascript.





I'm using Safari 3.1, Leopard 10.5.2.


The examples that you've provided works fine in Safari. However, my applet doesn't work in my browser, but in IE 7. So, I was wondering why.





By default, I use javascript to draw secondary structure, when the applet loaded. I turned down this feature, and the browser works fine. Alarmingly, I went to your examples and tried use buttons to test javascript, but none of them worked in Safari.





So, could you please examine this, and let me know how can I solve it?





Thanks,


Sunhwan

Hi Sunhwan,





the example showing secondary structures neither works under FireFox 2.0 on Windows: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/example-mspace8.html





I've created the same example page with the previous method we used before 5.0 which works with FireFox: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/example-mspace10.html





Can you please confirm if this is working or not with your environment (Safari and IE 7)?





Thank you in advance,


Judit

P.S. please note that the "Natives already loaded" problem can arise if you try the 2 pages one after the other. Browser restart is required in this case.

I've tried in Safari 3.1 in Mac OS X 10.5.2,





both of them displays structure and failed


to run javascript to change representation.





Thanks,


Sunhwan

Hello Sunhwan,





we think we finally managed to find the problem.


Can you please check this page again: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/example-mspace8.html





It if works for you, we either give you the details of the correction or a new release depending on which one do you prefer.


The correction is easy and fast, but a new release would be better since we can also include the SAS surface computation from applet parameter that way.


Probably the best solution is to give you both.





Kind regards,


Judit

Thanks Judit,





It works fine in IE7, Windows.


However, it doesn't work in Safari 3.1 and Firefox 3.0b4, Mac OS X 10.5.2





It hangs on Safari, and it displays wireframe structure in firefox but none of the javascript is working.





Thanks


Sunhwan

Hi Sunhwan,





it is interesting, sometimes it works on Safari, sometimes not :S


The problem we found was the naming of the applet. The applet name was not given as parameter to marvin.js, so any call to document.MSpaceApplet was neglected.


This correction was made in marvin/marvin.js:

Code:

mspace_begin(name,....)

In the applet examples:

Code:

mspace_begin(mspace_name,...)

Miklos reports that examples 2 and 4 work stably on Safari, but example 8 is sometimes misteriously out of order.





Can you stably use the workaround you have sent us in e-mail?





Kind regards,


Judit

Thanks Judit,





I briefly tested it, and seems working fine.


I'll apply those changes and let you know.
