Creating Pages for This Site

Where Text is Formatted Like This it should be entered using the code view in Dreamweaver, not the design view.

Loading Molecule and Info Pages

• Create a directory with the name of your choice ( no spaces, back or forward slashes )
• Create a file called 'info.htm' with any information you want in the new directory. It may be blank.
  • To load a Gaussian output molecule file to the viewer:
    • Put the required molecule in your new directory and name it 'molecule.out'
    • Create a link as follows:
      • <a href="javascript:top.mainFrame.loadPageGaussian( 'directory1/mydirectory' );" > YOUR LINK TEXT GOES HERE </a> Where 'directory1/mydirectory' is the path to your directory.
  • To load an '.xyz' file follow the same procedure however create a link like so:
    • <a href="javascript:top.mainFrame.loadPageXYZ( 'directory1/mydirectory' );" > YOUR LINK TEXT GOES HERE </a> Which would load 'directory1/mydirectory/info.htm' and 'directory1/mydirectory/molecule.xyz'.
  • To load a molecule of a different type or more than one molecule is in the same directory then the following can be used:
    • <a href="javascript:top.mainFrame.loadPageWithSpecificMolecule( 'directory1/mydirectory' , 'anymoleculename.anycompatiblefiletype' );" >

Scripting Loaded Molecules

Create a link as follows:

<a href="javascript:parent.sendScript('blah blah script; seperate lines with semi-colons; bla blah script;');" > YOUR LINK TEXT GOES HERE </a>

More information on scripting the JMol Applet can be found here.

Subscripts and Superscripts

Dreamweaver was obviously not made with chemists in mind as there is no simple button to achieve this.. The <sub> and <sup> tags can be used to achieve sub and superscripts respectively. They are used as follows:

H<sub>2</sub>O

[B<sub>12</sub>H<sub>12</sub>]<sup>2-</sup>

Notice that </sub> and </sup> are used to encapsulate the required text. The above examples produce:

H₂O

[B₁₂H₁₂]^2-

The <sub> and <sup> tags can be used within links.
