What’s the best way to write Mathematical Equations on the Web?

The jsMath package is an option that uses LaTeX markup and native fonts. Quoting from their webpage http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/:

The jsMath package provides a method
of including mathematics in HTML pages
that works across multiple browsers
under Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux
and other flavors of unix. It
overcomes a number of the shortcomings
of the traditional method of using
images to represent mathematics:
jsMath uses native fonts, so they
resize when you change the size of the
text in your browser, they print at
the full resolution of your printer,
and you don’t have to wait for dozens
of images to be downloaded in order to
see the mathematics in a web page.
There are also advantages for web-page
authors, as there is no need to
preprocess your web pages to generate
any images, and the mathematics is
entered in TeX form, so it is easy to
create and maintain your web pages.

See for example this page or that one.
