[Proteopedia] Proteopedia out of order in Snow Leopard

[Donald Voet]

Hi Eric,

Under OS X 10.5 (Lion), Jmol runs on Safari. However it does not run on
Firefox or Chrome, both of which state: "You do not have Java applets
enabled in your web browser, or your browser is blocking this applet," even
though Java is enabled in both browsers.

Cheers,
Don
