Jmol applet (quick) howto

Here is a short post to include Jmol rendering in your blogger posts.

First of all, you need to have the applet and its related jar and resources files available somewhere behind a HTTP server. In my configuration I have a folder called JmolFolder with these 19 files:

JmolApplet0_Console.jar

JmolApplet0.jar

JmolApplet0_Minimize.jar

JmolApplet0_Popup.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersCifPdb.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersMolXyz.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersMore.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersQuantum.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersSimple.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersXml.jar

JmolApplet0_ReadersXtal.jar

JmolApplet0_ShapeBio.jar

JmolApplet0_ShapeSpecial.jar

JmolApplet0_ShapeSurface.jar

JmolApplet0_Smiles.jar

JmolApplet0_Symmetry.jar

JmolApplet.jar

Jmol.jar

Jmol.js

Note that I removed all the internationalization files from the original distribution (I hope it makes it start faster).

In blogger/blogspot post you have to insert the following as HTML:

<form>
<script src="http://biotechies.site40.net/jmol/JmolFolder/Jmol.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jmolInitialize("http://biotechies.site40.net/jmol/JmolFolder"); jmolApplet(400, "load http://biotechies.site40.net/jmol/alphahelix.pdb.gz;");jmolBr();</script>
</form>

The result is:
