    Hello,

    I've used an \underbrace in a reply to some question a while ago, and I remember it working fine. Now, it doesn't work anymore: on Opera it says "undefined control sequence \underbrace", on IE 8 it just destroys jsMath (it gets to trying to render the underbrace, and freezes: the counder freezes at something line 68% completed, reprocessing math or reloading the page does not help).

    Should I remove the \underbrace? Will it work again? What happened?

    Thanks,
    Ilya.

    Somebody else's post with an \underbrace , same symptoms, I think:

    \underbrace is working for me in chrome on linux. It must be some strange interaction between jsMath and the browser. Unfortunately, these seem to be fairly common. If you want to minimize the chance of somebody having trouble with your answer, I guess you could remove the \underbrace.

    MathJax 1.0 is supposed to come out within a month. It's much more robust across different browsers than jsMath. I'll try to switch MO over as soon as possible.
