just put this in notebook.html

There was an issues trying to fetch MathJax.js from the internet. You might
wan't to consider using "install_mathjax()" to be able to use the Notebook
fonctionnality offline

And hide it at <body>'s onload if window.mathjax found.

As I understand it, language="javascript" is deprecated, and type="text/javascript" is officially the way to declare script type.

I've never done javascript before, so I trust you.

No worries, I didn't know either, but when I saw the inconsistency I Google'd it. We are pretty much all js novices here.

Very true. It took me 2hours last night to get CodeMirror to toggle
line-numbers on a per cell basis :) (pull request coming soon after I
clean it up a little).

Question: are we ready to merge this one, or is further cleanup needed?

I though I was the only one :-)

Might want to test on IE6 ?
Add a message for people with JS not activated ?

We don't support IE at all, period. Let alone something as ancient
as IE6. IE has no websocket support, so none of the notebook will
ever work there until they add websockets.

Add a message for people with JS not activated ?

That, on the other hand, would be good, since pretty much nothing
would work without JS. Giving an informative error would be good
usability-wise.

IE was a joke of course.
I have no idea how to add a message that will be visible only to browser without JS, without having it "poping up" for a few millisecond for user having JS...

Note that you can't even get to the notebook page without js, since our whole UI (including the frontpage) is jQuery.

A single line of plaintext 'IPython notebook requires javascript' shouldn't be bothersome. I don't think there's any need for more information than that these days.

Also a reason our pre-load warning messages may linger longer than others is that MathJax is huge, so loading up a notebook page can take a significant fraction of a second.

This looks good, but as it is, you can see the MathJax warning briefly on every notebook load. We should only draw the warning when the MathJax test fails, so initially it should have display:none, and add to the check:

    function CheckMathJax(){
        var div=document.getElementById("MatjaxFetchingWarning");
        if(window.MathJax){
            document.body.removeChild(div);
        }else{
            div.style.display = "block";
        }
    }

True, I was still thinking as if it would be executed after mathjax.js was loaded... and that the 'else' would then never be executed
