ASCIIMath with XMLHttpRequest

[Dan Healy]

When I view a page with ASCIIMath text, the formulas are rendered as expected.  When I execute an XMLHttpRequest and bring in more ASCIIMath text, the formulas are not rendered as expected.  They just appear as straight ASCII text.  How do I caused the new formulas to be displayed?

Thanks,

AM adds an onload event that translates the page when it's initially loaded.  On ajax requests, you have to manually trigger the re-render.  Do this by calling the AMprocessNode function, feeding it the element that contains the new text to be rendered.  For example,

targetel = document.getElementById(target);

targetel.innerHTML = req.responseText; 

AMprocessNode(targetel);

The process is different if you're using MathJax, but since you posted here, I'm assuming you're using the classic AsciiMathML script.

You are right, I am in the wrong place.  I am using MathJax to render ASCIIMathML in any browser, per your recommendation, and that is working well.  I will pose this question to the MathJax group.

Thanks, Dan H

As I recall, the equivalent in MathJax is:

MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset", MathJax.Hub, node]); 

where node is the element to be rendered.

Typeset works.  Another problem bites the dust.  Thank you very much.
