 * HTML Code is note working: Trying to embed a video:
 * Here’s what the code trying to install:
    <object width=”580″ height=”385″><embed
   src=”[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1)
 * When I update: it turns into this:
    <embed src="[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1)

 * I even tried to use the Plugin: Embedit
 * Plugin is ignored:
 * Code to use; [HTML1]
    You then go to “Custom Field” > Enter new” Put in [HTML1]
   > Value >put in : <object width=”580″ height=”385″><embed src=”[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=frol02p79&continuous=1)
 * Then Update: Nothing happens
