Re: CCL:Digital Unix PDB viewer plugin |
No, I don't think this is the problem. Since Brian has created pages
with the EMBED tag before and obviously gotten them to work, the MIME
tage is set properly. The real probelm here is, as Brain mentioned, a
lack of a plugin for the DEC machine.
The last I spoke with the MDL folks, and this was about 6 months ago,
and there was no plan to expand the CHIME product to other platforms
(being an SGI user, I wanted them to enhance the plugin to 24-bit from
8-bit, something we are still waitng for). The problem remains - plugins
are platform specific and until the developer ports to your platform,
you are out of luck. To avoid the problem you need to avoid using the
EMBED tag - you could create two pages, one with one without the EMBED
tag - then on the page without the embed, you can offer the file as a
straight download which the browser canthen direct to helper application
to view the structure.
An alternative is to use a java utility to display your molecules. I
recommend ChemSymphony (http://www.cherwell.com/)for this.
