   Every so often I want to add something special like a right floated DIV to a post. I already have the style sheet set up for the DIV and then type DIV into the code of the post with the class name that matches the style sheet. When I save the page WordPress removes the opening and closing Div code and leaves the stuff in the middle.
   Example:
   <div class="right">chicken</div> turns into chicken

   I also tried entering this:
   <div align="right">chicken</div> and I get:
   <p align="right">chicken</p>

   Any ideas?

   Try disabling the visual editor.

   I did that and entered this:
   <div class="righty">chicken</div>
   and saved the page. When I saved the page it removed the class=righty portion and I was left with:
   <div>chicken</div>

   You may want to search the forum. I already mentioned how to do it in or before Jan 14.

   macsoft3,
   I checked your previous posts around that time and couldn't find anything. I have also checked all over the forum and could not find a solution. This was the reason I started this topic.
   I'd really appreciate it if you could add a link to the post that you mentioned that solves this issue.

   Anyone have any ideas? I still have trouble adding Div's to posts.

   This should answer your question as long as you aren't using 2.5 or higher. I think the code has moved to a different location.
