Thanks for saying so.
It is getting even better.

(You can change this, but at great risk.)

because it gets this information from the .aux file produced by LaTeX.

Load the html.sty and  amsmath.sty  packages:
 \usepackage{html}
 \usepackage{amsmath}
then make a conditional definition:

\begin{htmlonly}
 \numberwithin{equation}{chapter} % is this the right way around ?
 \renewcommand{\theequation}{....}
\end{htmlonly}

THis should give you what you want.

Ouch. That precludes using  \usepackage 
Get a local guru to turn it into a LaTeX-2e package.
Or do it yourself to gain some brownie points.

It never reads thesis.sty  so doesn't know to reset them for each chapter.


Hope this helps,
