[techexplorer-support] Re[3]: <mstyle> problem

[Sam Dooley]

Hello Aleksey,

The literal string "inherit" is not a valid value for the mathbackground
attribute.  Where the MathML specification lists an attribute as inherited,
the text of the specification describes how to calculate the effective value
of the attribute for the given element.

If you want the background color of an element to inherit from the background
color of its parent, set the mathbackground attribute to the empty string.

To the extent that Opera supports the Netscape plugin API, techexplorer should
work fine within Opera.  We do not list Opera as a supported platform only
because we do not routinely test techexplorer using Opera.

If you are interested in Java solutions for editing math markup, you should
take a look at our new MathEX applet (http://www.integretechpub.com/mathex/)
which also has full support for content and presentation MathML for both
editing and rendering mathematics.
