Actually, jsMath looks a bit better than image. Compare:
<m>$x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}$</m><br />
<m display="mimetex">$x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}$</m><br />
<m display="jsMath">$x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}$</m><br />
<m>\[x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}\]</m><br />
<m display="mimetex">\[x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}\]</m><br />
<m display="jsMath">\[x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}\]</m><br />
The default "tth" doesn't seem to work in either IE 7 or Firefox.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for your reply. This doesn't seem to display correctly on firefox,
but does work somewhat on IE.
Could you clarify what you mean "the image display"?
Thanks,
Jay

Jay,
Looks like your best bet is something like this:
<m>\[x+5\overline{\big)x^2+4x+5}\]</m>
It's not quite a closed curve above the \big), but it is pretty close.
I suppose you could also try \bigg) instead to see what happens. I got
best results with the image display.
