 * Im having a problem with using custom styles in a div inside the code view.
    
   When I “save” the code gets rewritten and my <div class=”something”> turns into
   <p class=”something”>
 * Is there anyway to turn on code rewriting?
 * Thanks!

 * In my (recent) version I turn off the visual editor for the user, and then also
   uncheck
    “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” under Options -> Writing.
   Then my code doesn’t get altered.
