==Providing JSmol==

The website server provides not only the web pages, but also JSmol. The web browser simply displays JSmol, and molecular data, provided by the server. Thus, the version of JSmol is matched to the web pages. JSmol is updated frequently, but the JSmol on a given website remains fixed until the site administrator upgrades it.

The website server provides not only the web pages, but also JSmol. The web browser simply displays JSmol, and molecular data, provided by the server. Thus, the version of JSmol is matched to the web pages. JSmol is updated frequently at [[http://jmol.org Jmol.Org]], but the JSmol on a given website remains fixed until the site administrator upgrades it.

A website has, at the very least, some hypertext markup language files (filenames ending .htm or .html). Usually there are also some image files (filenames ending .png, .jpg, .gif, etc.) for images that are displayed in the web pages. And usually there are also some [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript JavaScript] files (filenames ending .js) and some cascading style sheet files (filenames ending .css). JavaScript (not to be confused with [[Java]]) is a programming language that is interpreted by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser web browser].

In order to invoke JSmol, the files on the website server must also include the javascript code for JSmol (filenames ending .js). If the Jmol Java applet is to be invoked, the Java archive files for Jmol (filenames ending .jar) must also be included.
