The new implementation definitely deserves a +1. On a local server it is not so obvious, but loading jmol applets takes a long time when running it remotely. This also means that the webpage is loading and if there are too many applets then it also freezes the browser (especially a bit older browsers) for a while. Loading static images is faster and more useful in these scenarios. The extra click is not a bother since the page will load fast in the beginning and the overall experience is better. > > > >> What should be avoided is that you first have to press&release mouse >> button before you can press again & drag.
