Jmol Export to Web application

"Export to Web" (a.k.a. Jmol Web Page Maker) is a module included in the Jmol Application. Its purpose is to offer a user-friendly, basic, easy to learn way of producing simple webpages that include Jmol Applets with molecular views that the user has prepared but still retain full-featured Jmol interactivity.

Former Jmol versions

With Jmol versions before 13.2, the use of E2W is described in Jonathan Gutow's tutorial in English (y en español).

Make sure to extract (unzip) the whole contents of the downloaded Jmol distribution file, and to work with the File icon.gifJmol.jar in that folder.

Newer Jmol versions

Due to changes in the distribution file scheme in Jmol v. 13.2 and later (associated to the evolution towards Jmol-JSO and JSmol), you need to do some extra preparation before E2W will work successfully.

  1. Create a folder where you will work with E2W.
  2. Download the distribution file, File icon.gifJmol-13.x.x-binary.zip and extract its contents. A Folder icon.gifjmol-13.x.x folder will be created by default.
    • Transfer the File icon.gifJmol.jar to your working folder.
  3. Unzip the File icon.gifjsmol.zip; it will create a Folder icon.gifjsmol folder.
    • Open the Folder icon.gifjsmol/java folder and transfer File icon.gifJmolApplet.jar and all File icon.gifJmolApplet0*.jar files to your working folder. (That's about 62 files.)
  4. Get a copy of File icon.gifJmol.js either from a fairly recent, pre-13.2, Jmol download or directly from Jmol repository at SF. Save it to your working folder.
