[Proteopedia] running on HTML5, optional Java

[Jaime Prilusky]

Starting now, Sunday Jan 26 2014 early morning, Proteopedia uses by default HTML5 instead of Java for rendering interactive models. We run on the latest stable version of Jmol 14.0.7

Huge thanks to Wayne Decatur for SAT (Scene Authoring Tool) testing on iPad and desktop, to Alexander Berchansky for testing also on IExplorer and Bob Hanson and the Jmol Team.

Please report to jaime.prilusky at weizmann.ac.il<mailto:jaime.prilusky at weizmann.ac.il> any problem you may encounter.

Positive issues: Page, scene rendering and editing works on most browsers and platforms, including iPad.

Negative aspects: Large structures will take longer to load, render and rotate. You may request Java on a single page by adding ?_USE=JAVA to the URL, as in: http://proteopedia.org/w/1pdb?_USE=JAVA

If you still want to use Java by default: Login Proteopedia.org<http://Proteopedia.org>, go to http://proteopedia.org/w/Special:Preferences , click on the Misc tab, check the box “Use Java for rendering structures” and Save.

Known problems: Additional applets besides the first one, on multi-applet pages, might not work on HTML5. Working on fixing. Better option, try converting your page to the single applet scrolling page layout: is memory efficient and user friendly.
