I guess that you have already checked the applet javascript API 
(http://www.jalview.org/examples/jalviewLiteJs.html). There are some 
methods that could be used, but I haven't exposed them in the 
Javascript interface.  Could you lodge a feature request at 
issues.jalview.org for the functions you need ?  I'll take a look and 
see if I can sneak a patch into v2.8 that will expose the ones you need.

One of my dreams is to have full programmatic control of the interface 
functions - but we first have to complete our current milestone which 
is to merge the applet and application GUI implementation. Then the 
same programmatic control will be available for both web and stand 
alone Jalviews!

Thanks for the email - I'll keep an eye on issues.jalview.org and 
message you via your feature request!
Jim.
