simplest way to dynamically display math content on web pages

Question

I'd like to let people type math (latex) in a text field and show them the math content dynamically as they type on the same page. how can this be done (i'm developing on windows)?

thanx!

Answer 1

For the dynamic updating part I suggest markitup. In preview mode it updates a "processed" version of what you type (just like the SO text fields).

For the math, I also advise the excellent jsmath (checkout the examples!).

A combination of the two should fit the bill.
