Thought I would pass this warning on to people. The Jmol community
has found that the old version of Jmol normally packaged with SAGE is
unlikely to work in most webkit browsers (especially on MacOS) very
soon. In the Jmol community we have already seen this and have a
fix. It requires newer versions of the Jmol.js file primarily, but
that file assumes newer versions of the applet. I have set up my
expanded ability Jmol .spkg (see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9238
and http://code.google.com/p/sagenb/issues/detail?id=1) so that it
upgrades easily to newer versions of Jmol. The latest version of
the .spkg does include the fixes for webkit browsers. Unless there
are plans to switch to a different 3-D viewer soon, I think including
this package in SAGE needs to become somewhat more urgent to avoid a
broken 3-D viewer.
