William,
As a Jmol developer and probable user of Sage for my classes, I/we
definitely would like to help. I've done a little investigating on a
Sage installation on my computer running MacOS 11.4.11. I can
reproduce the problem, but it is not showing up the way I expect in
the page source generated by the Sage server. What I see is that not
everything is showing up in the page source in FF. Is there something
different about the way you package things for FF versus other
browsers? Here's what I see:
Page source in Safari for a 3-D rendering:
<textarea class="cell_input" rows=6 cols=80
id = 'cell_input_0'
onKeyPress = 'return input_keypress(0,event);'
onKeyDown = 'return input_keydown(0,event);'
onKeyUp = 'return input_keyup(0, event);'
onBlur = 'cell_blur(0); return true;'
onFocus = 'cell_focused(this,0); return true;'
>sage: u, v = var('u,v')
sage: fx = (3+sin(v)+cos(u))*cos(2*v)
sage: fy = (3+sin(v)+cos(u))*sin(2*v)
sage: fz = sin(u)+2*cos(v)
sage: parametric_plot3d([fx, fy, fz], (u, 0, 2*pi), (v, 0, 2*pi),
... frame=False, color="red")</textarea>
<a href="javascript:evaluate_cell(0,0)"
class="eval_button" id="eval_button0" alt="Click here or press shift-
return to evaluate">evaluate</a><div id='introspect_div_0'
class='introspection'></div>
<table class="cell_output_box"><tr>
<td class="cell_number" id="cell_number_0"
onClick="cycle_cell_output_type(0);">
</td>
<td class="output_cell"><div
class="cell_div_output_wrap" id="cell_div_output_0"><div
class="cell_output_wrap" id="cell_output_0"></div><div
class="cell_output_nowrap_wrap" id="cell_output_nowrap_0"></div><div
class="cell_output_html_wrap"
id="cell_output_html_0"><div><script>jmol_applet(500, "/home/admin/2/
cells/0/sage0-size500.jmol?2");</script></div> </div></div></td></tr></
table></div></div>
Page source in FF for a 3-D rendering:
<textarea class="cell_input" rows=1 cols=80
id = 'cell_input_0'
onKeyPress = 'return input_keypress(0,event);'
onKeyDown = 'return input_keydown(0,event);'
onKeyUp = 'return input_keyup(0, event);'
onBlur = 'cell_blur(0); return true;'
onFocus = 'cell_focused(this,0); return true;'
></textarea>
<a href="javascript:evaluate_cell(0,0)"
class="eval_button" id="eval_button0" alt="Click here or press shift-
return to evaluate">evaluate</a><div id='introspect_div_0'
class='introspection'></div>
<table class="cell_output_box"><tr>
<td class="cell_number" id="cell_number_0"
onClick="cycle_cell_output_type(0);">
</td>
<td class="output_cell"><div
class="cell_div_output_wrap" id="cell_div_output_0"><div
class="cell_output_wrap" id="cell_output_0"></div><div
class="cell_output_nowrap_wrap" id="cell_output_nowrap_0"></div><div
class="cell_output_html_wrap" id="cell_output_html_0"> </div></div></
td></tr></table></div></div>
</div>
Notice that the textarea in FF doesn't seem to contain the text and
the Jmol related code seems to be missing as well. I wonder if the
server is sending something that FF misinterprets.
I have seen cases where FF does not work with Jmol but Safari does,
but I've only seen it with directly accessing html files locally. The
problem is that FF passes absolute paths to the data files. This runs
afoul of the java security system and Jmol is not allowed to load the
data file. I usually just use Safari instead. Another way around
this is to use the signed Jmol applet. I will see if I can force my
copy Sage to do that. If that works, my suggestion is that the signed
version be included in the Sage distribution.
I will also try using a more recent Jmol release. Maybe we've fixed
something that is causing this.
