LaTeX Troubleshooting LaTeX Popups in Opera: Missing Images on Physics Forums

AI Thread Summary
Certain LaTeX images are not displaying their source code when clicked in Opera 7.54, with specific examples noted from a Physics Forums thread. Users report that some images, particularly in post #1 and post #10, fail to show their source, suggesting a potential issue with how single quotes are processed in the JavaScript. The proposed solution is to escape single quotes by using \' within the LaTeX code to prevent misinterpretation. Additionally, it is noted that the same issue occurs in Firefox 1.0, indicating a broader compatibility problem across browsers.

The source doesn't pop up when I click on certain LaTeX images.

I'm using Opera 7.54

Here are some examples:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=65125

On post #1, I cannot see the source of the second image. (BUt I see the others)

On post #10, I can't see the first, fourth, fifth, or sixth image. (Out of 6)

Here is my attempt at reproducing some of those I can't see in post #10:

E = E' f_{\lambda}
( \mathbf{\nabla \cdot E'} f_{\lambda} ) + \frac{V}{\lambda^2} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}

Lo and behold, I cannot see the source of these.

Looking at the source code it seems like the single quote is the culprite. The javascript is interpreting it as the end of the argument. This should be a simple fix. Just print it out as \' whenever it comes up inside the tex code.

If it matters, they don't work in Firefox 1.0 either.
