Searching Structures in ChemSpider from the Android Browser...

...is now implemented as empirical formula search.

Not what was ultimately desired, but at least it works.

Searching Structures in ChemSpider from the Android Browser...

...does not work at the moment.

Having, with the friendly help of ChemSpider support, found out how to use their web API, I tried to call it from the android browser.

The HTML form works at least in Firefox, IE 6.x and Chrome, but from the Android browser it either opens the ChemSpider start page - or sometimes only a blank page.

It seems that I'll have to monitor what the Android browser really sends to ChemSpider with Wireshark to find out what the problem is.
