Re: [Jmol-users] "Jmol" for iPads?

I'm not with you Bob.  I checked the ChemDoodle demos (quite nice really) and I 
see the same kind of functionality as I see on many Jmol sites, radio buttons 
and such to control the appearance or behavior of a molecule.  Are you saying 
you think this is easier to create using Jmol scripting than it would be using 
Javascript?  I'm not sure I would agree with that.  It seems it is easier 
mostly because of the Jmol.js javascript library that hides much of the 
complexity.  Something similar could be done for the ChemDoodle approach I'm 
sure.  Or am I just missing something?
