<div>Yeah, I didn't know exactly what to use for the type=3D part.<br>
<br>
The <font size=3D+2> worked great; I agree, that is a better
solution rather than getting jsMath specific details involved. Thanks,
Felicia!<br>
<br>
Minor issue - clicking on the jsMath button thingy does nothing. It
sounds like I am supposed to see some sort of console or something, but
I don't see anything.<br>
<br>
I turned off popup blocking (using Firefox) but still nothing.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
