[Building Sakai] Rwiki jsmath & ie8

[Colin Tatham]

Hi all

What are people currently doing to integrate jsMath, suppress the red 
warning, and have it work in IE8?

I'm currently using the method Steve set up 
<https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17249> which uses v3.6c, but 
as Gonzalo pointed out in the Jira, you need to set the param in web.xml 
to '/jsMath/jsMath.js' rather than '/jsMath/easy/load.js' in order for 
the 3.6c version to work in IE8.

That's all fine, but when it comes to suppressing the red warning, I 
think the best solution is to use (and possibly modify) /easy/load.js 
rather than using CSS to hide it, but we're not using /easy/load.js ...

I see Denny also posted a potential solution:
"I found a hack to fix issues with IE7 and IE8. It needs to 
jsMath.Autoload.ReCheck() after document load (see r91463)"

Anyone tried that and running it in production?

Any other thoughts?

)

Thanks

Colin
