I didn't expect it to because IE clearly sees the tomcat-served blog page as some flavour of XML else it wouldn't be giving an XML listing. But the tomcat-served blog page has Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml;charset=UTF-8 Could the charset thingy be causing problems? > As an aside, to get mathml into a blog (blogger) over which I had less > control (It always serves as text/html as far as I can see) I found > Peter Jipsen's script quite useful. > > http://dpcarlisle.blogspot.com/2007/04/as-mentioned-in-earlier-post-im.html I was impressed with this .. and learnt some good tricks from the code. I didn't even know it was possible. Thanks for sharing it with us. What happens if you try displaying pages using this script with IE and no mathplayer installed? I guess IE will carp about lack of the plug-in, but will it display anything at all? (I see you say you have added some extra stuff to cover these cases...) And is the mathplayer classid fixed for ever? Or might it change with later versions of mathplayer? (If the latter, it would break this script...) Richard
