Although plug-ins such as Chime have helped to facilitate molecule display, its still a pain to the user who does not have it installed getting "broken" plugin icons etc. To help solve this problem, Dave Riddick and I have written some javascript which tests to see what the user has on their system. http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/motm/pdb_test.html It turns it this is quite a challenge, given that Netscape 2 and 3 differ in what can be tested for, and Internet Explorer is similarly variable. Coping with all permutations is quite complex. Anyway, I enclose the HTML document as it currently stands. If you want to try it for yourself, substitute the refs to pdb files and .gif files in this script for ones of your own. This version tests only for .pdb support, but could easily be extended to cope with other MIME types. The document shows how to produce a table of such types as supported by your own browser. Bug reports etc of course gratefully received. Henry Rzepa. +44 171 594 5774 (Office) +44 594 5804 (Fax)
Dear All, Electrochemiluminescence .avi This is not directly relevant to chemweb but... I have made available on the University of Liverpool anonymous ftp server a 5 minute lecture in the format of an .avi file (zipped down to 37MB)... ftp://ftp.liv.ac.uk/pub/Electrochem/ecl.zip Please take a look at the readme file before you attempt downloading. ftp://ftp.liv.ac.uk/pub/Electrochem/readme.txt The .avi file was part of a display we gave at the Royal Society in June and is on the topic of an Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay for the Pesticide Atrazine. The presentation was aimed at "A" level students and above, it originally ran side by side with the apparatus, so some of the voiceovers such as "The equipment is on display" may seem a little odd. Any feedback/suggestion/criticism would be welcomed. Our full display can be seen for the second (and last) time at "Electrochem '96" at Bath University next month.
