   In the HTML editor if I enter:

   <div class="mycontent-wrapper">
   <div class="mycontent-top-bar"></div>
   <div class="mycontent">blah blah blah</div>
   <div class="mycontent-btm-bar"></div>
   </div>

   then click on the "Visual" editor tab and back on the "HTML" tab I see:

   <div class="mycontent-wrapper">
   <div class="mycontent">blah blah blah</div>
   </div>

   Why are the "mycontent-top" and "mycontent-btm" div's no longer there? Is this a documented "feature" of WordPress?

   Searching I see other folks have had the same problem but I'm not finding any solutions. Is there a fix or plugin to stop this behavior?

   Thanks,
   DAN

   Yes, if you are entering your own code, you can't use the visual editor. Switching back and forth between the visual and html editors will mess up your code, and there is no fix for this other than not doing it.
