Recently we released version 2.01 of SMARTCyp, which is the first version to use ChemDoodle web components.
We have done this for two major reasons, the first one is speed. Creating HTML output by writing text files with javascript is much faster than generating three png files for each molecule. While the old version output is still available in SMARTCyp, the default HTML output is HTML5 using ChemDoodle web components. Not only is it faster, it looks nicer too.
The second reason is platform compatibility, the new HTML output can also respond to input from touch-screens. A touch input on the structures (when using your mobile phone or your tablet device) will display atom numbers in the same way a mouseover effect does it on a standard computer. To get this working we simply made duplicate functions in the javascript. There are mousover and mouseout functions for displaying and not displaying atom numbers. The same functions also exist as touchstart and touchend functions. If you want the details, just check out the resulting HTML you get when you run a molecule on our web server.
When we did this we also changed the sketcher on our web server start page. It used to be a JchemPaint sketcher applet. Since this is java it simply does not work on all mobile devices (and Ipads). Now we instead use the ChemDoodle sketcher, which loads much faster, and is compatible for all mobile devices as well.
I always get a kick out of the chance to peruse a top quality substance having precise information relating to the subject and precisely the same I found in this article. Pleasant occupation. katproxy
