Hi,
When I add the following code in HTML:
<br>
<div><object width="320" height="256"
classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://www.microsoft.com/">
<param name="autostart" value="0" />
<param name="autoplay" value="0" />
<param name="clicktoplay" value="1" />
<param name="controller" value="1" />
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.microsoft.com/" />
<param name="target" value="myself" />
<param name="type" value="application/x-oleobject" />
<param name="src"
value="http://url.wmv/></object></div>
...and hit 'Update', only the following will appear:
<div><object codebase="http://www.microsoft.com/" height="256" width="320" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" /></div>
Why does my HTML not get retained?
Thanks
Neil
Not every tag is retained when saving posts in WP. The reason is that it has to be usable for the not so HTML savvy users.
This is done so that you don't mess up your blog.
For knowing markup'ers like you, this is annoying.
I think you have to find a plugin to insert video into your posts. Alternatively you just place a link to your video in the post.
Disable the wysiwyg editor (in your profile page, bottom left....)
That might help.

Hi vkaryl,
You mean the 'Use the visual rich editor when writing' option?
If so, I tried it and then clicked on 'code' to enter my HTML.
It now just displays the code on the screen rather than actually show Windows Media Player.
Any further advice?
Neil
Yes, the "code" button is for showing code, so it should.
The problem has been discussed before in the forum. The solution was for the AudioBlog service.
I might have found it. The Extrem Video Plugin may do it.
I haven't tested it, but I will, after some sleep ;)
