http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/index.jsp no longer works for me.  I use MacOS X and have tried both Firefox and Safari.

http://www.bindingdb.org/bind/chemsearch/marvin/index.jsp works fine, so I don't think it it a Java problem.

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/demo.html also works fine for me.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jan Jensen

What do you mean on that index.jsp does not work for you? Does anything display on the applet area?

Have you got any error message on the (Java) Console?

Please specify the exact Java, OS X and browser versions.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.  I simply get a blank square on the page where I expect the builder should be.  See attached screenshot.

I run Mac OS 10.5.7.

java version "1.5.0_19"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19-b02-304)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_19-137, mixed mode, sharing)

I have the problem on 2 different browsers: Firefox 3.0.13 and Safari 4.0.2

I don't get any error messages that I can see on either browser, but perhaps I am not looking in the right place.

Have you managed to run any other applet example from ChemAxon site?

Please try this one:

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/sketch/embed.html

You can check warnings, error messages from the browser and from java in the Console application. You can find in the /Applications/Utilities directory.

I suggest to open it after you start the browser and before you load the applet page. Push the "Clear Display" button to delete previous messages. After then, start applet and watch messages in the Console window under the "Java Console.log" and "system.log".

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/sketch/embed.html works fine and produced the following output in the java console:

MRJ Plugin for Mac OS X v1.0.1
[starting up Java Applet Security @ Fri Aug 07 11:39:31 CEST 2009]
Fri Aug 07 11:39:40 CEST 2009 JEP creating applet JMSketchLaunch (http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/)
Applet started

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/index.jsp produced no output in the java console.

I should also add that the latter site never asked me to trust the applet certificate

 

Thanks for the info. Indeed, it is not a Java problem.

There were an error in marvin.js (isLeopardSafari method missed). Because of applet code generation failed in certain cases under OS X. That's why the applet area stayed empty by index.jsp.

Now, I have fixed marvin.js. I have updated marvin.js on the site. The next release will include the right version.

If somebody would like to substitute it immediately, he can download it from here:

Please try to load index.jsp again. Now, it should work.

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/index.jsp

It works on Safari, which is great.

Just FYI: it doesn't work on Firefox.

Thank you very mich for the help

It also works in Firefox. Probably, the old version of the marvin.js is still in the Firefox browser cache.

Clear cache (Tools/Clear Private Data) and restart Firefox.

yep! that did it.  Thank you again.  Jan
