Does anyone know HTML fractions? Specifically the sixteenths.

Thanks :)

i think:
<sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub>

that might be the best you can get without HTML::fraction, server-side stuff

Interesting, it works but has a different format than &frac or &#. Thanks, I need all the fractions I can get for a preventive maintenance manual I am writing. :) :)

Well using the <sup> and <sub> tags you can create any fraction you like. Only 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 have actual characters to represent them and even then you need to be careful which encoding you choose to have them supported.

<sup>1</sup>&frasl;<sub>16</sub>

You might want to play around with font sizes, such as:

<span style="font-size: 80%"><sup>1</sup>&frasl;<sub>16</sub></span>
