    Question MathML for IE & Mozilla

    I'm interested in MathML... Big time!
    I know that it can only be rendered in Mozilla & Netscape.
    Then I found out that IE 6 can also render MathML, with a big help from MathPlayer.

    OK now, does anyone knows how to create a complete MathML script that runs in both Mozilla/Netscape and IE+MathPlayer? I've tried some scripts that I found on the net, but they just didnt work... (Or, maybe I wasnt trying hard enough.. )
    I'm not very good in XML & XHTML, hope to learn it soon...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... TIA

    Sorry for the delay in answering your question, but I only saw your post this morning. Here's what you need to do to author a page that's viewable in both Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox and IE 6 + MathPlayer 2:

    1. These lines should be the first 4 lines in your code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">


    2. Each <math> tag in your MathML needs to have this attribute: xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'.

    3. MathPlayer installs all fonts required for display in IE. For display in the Netscape browsers, you may need extra fonts. See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ for more information.

    We have an article on our web site that may be helpful: A Math on the Web Publishing Process . Also if you're using Dreamweaver, we have a tutorial for using Dreamweaver to author XHTML+MathML pages .
