I need an equivalent for the following:
document.getElementById('equation').update(); from Mathplayer
to use it in Mozilla based browser.
When I change any text node, the page updates just fine in FireFox.
However, if I change an entire math element, as in the following:
eqElement = document.getElementById("equation");
a2Element = document.createElement("msup");
baseElement = document.createElement("mi");
powerElement = document.createElement("mo");
baseElementText = document.createTextNode("a");
powerElementText = document.createTextNode("2");
baseElement.appendChild(baseElementText);
powerElement.appendChild(powerElementText);
a2Element.appendChild(baseElement);
a2Element.appendChild(powerElement);
eqElement.appendChild(a2Element);
it does not update the page.
It does not update in Internet Explorer running Mathplayer either.
However, if I follow up the above code with the following:
document.getElementById('equation').update();
it works just fine.
The file is a XML file with the following declaration:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd"
[<!ENTITY mathml "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
]>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I will appreciate it if someone can she some light on this.
Thanks in advance.

Then there's a bug. You could try making the entire block that encloses
the equation display: none; and then restoring it to display: block;.

A little correction here. It updates the math element. But, it does not
display it mathematically.
Starting from
<math id="eq1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
</math>
I get the following:
<math id="eq1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<msup>
<mi>a</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
</math>
Which is what I wanted. But, the browser does not display the math.

It did not work. Funny thing is when I view the source code, I see the
mathml code as it should be like as follows:
<math id="eq1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<msup>
<mi>a</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
</math>
Yet, the browser is displaying "a2" instead of the true math
presentation of square.
For a change, I strated with a non-empty <math> tag as follows:
<math id="eq1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<msup>
<mi>b</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
</math>
and applied the scriptcode and it changed to
<math id="eq1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<msup>
<mi>b</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
<msup>
<mi>a</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
</math>
But, it is displaying it as bsquared followed by a2 not a squared. In
otherwords, the browser is not displaying the updated math even after
changing display attribute as you suggested.
Thanks for your input. Maybe its abug, may be not. I don't know. I want
to know if there is a work around.
Interestingly, the browser updates just fine when I add simple html
tags using script code. Also, it updates just fine if I change a text
node inside mathml code.
Again, thanks.

Its working now. I was not including the name space when calling
createElement to creat an element. In another newsgroup, a gentleman
pointed that out and suggested that I call createElementNS that allows
you to include any namespace. Unfortuantely, Microsoft has not
implemented createElementNS, but I can't complain for its innerHTMl
makes it all easy.
Thank you for your help.
