[Building Sakai] Wiki Message with JsMath

[Jon Wheat]

the thing is - the message displays all the time, not just when you have a {math} macro in the wiki post.
It would be great if it could detect that and then check for the fonts, but that's probably for a different list.
 
so after reading the instructions on the jsMath page about removing the message ... where the heck to you add that 
 
<STYLE> #jsMath_Warning {display: none} </STYLE>

 
code ?

WRT: Error code -7 message

I may have misunderstood when this message appears. On reflection, it may only appear when Latex is being used on a page and jsMaths fontys havent been installed.

To me, it would seem a much better idea to dispense with the "big scarey red warning" that Jon mentions and modify the "-7" message to say something along the lines of "It looks like you're using Mathematical notation on this page. May we suggest that you download jsMaths fonts form http://xxxxx ........."

If anybody does a patch for this then we'd be interested in applying it.

| 
| we also got bad feedback about "install jsmaths fonts" warning message
| so removed it (in an analagous way to that suggested on the web page),
| but now we get an equally geeky message
| 
| "Error jsmaths font cannot be found error code (-7). I'll keep
| going but things could get ugly"
| 
| This doesn't appear very much but is annoying all the same. I mean,
| what a stupid message - what purpose does it serve?!!
| 
| Any ideas how to get rid of this?
