# HTML Issue

 * Either I’m doing something pretty stupid or wordpress is… please someone help?!
 * I’m trying to create a news page on my site and have the following HTML code 
   from MotorCycle news that should produce a full page of news…
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/shared/js/widget.min.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript">
           var MCN_widgetFeed = 'http://www.motorcyclenews.com/rss?N=343&Ntk=site&Ntt=MotoGP&Rpp=10';
           var MCN_widgetOptions = {
               affiliateId: 88,
               width: 500,
               height: 1000,
               textSize: 'L',
               showDesc: 1,
               showImages: 1,
               openLinks: 1
           };
           document.write('<div id="MCN_widget"></div>');
           MCN_widgetCreate(MCN_widgetFeed, MCN_widgetOptions);
       </script>
       <div id="MCN_widget_noscript"><a href="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/">MCN Motorcycle sport</a></div>
       ```
   
 * However when copying this in to the ‘text’ editor on wordpress and pressing update
   changes get made to the code and it then looks like this…
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/shared/js/widget.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
           var MCN_widgetFeed = 'http://www.motorcyclenews.com/rss?N=343&Ntk=site&Ntt=MotoGP&Rpp=10';
           var MCN_widgetOptions = {
               affiliateId: 88,
               width: 500,
               height: 1000,
               textSize: 'L',
               showDesc: 1,
               showImages: 1,
               openLinks: 1
           };
           document.write('
   
       <div id="MCN_widget"></div>
   
       ');
           MCN_widgetCreate(MCN_widgetFeed, MCN_widgetOptions);
       // ]]></script>
       <div id="MCN_widget_noscript"><a href="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/">MCN Motorcycle sport</a></div>
       ```

   parser.]_
 * And instead of a nice news article page it just creates a link to the news website…
 * Any ideas of why WordPress in its ultimate wisdom makes this unwanted change 
   on my behalf, and how I can stop it doing it to get the news feed to come through
   properly…
 * I’ve unticked the setting in ‘writing’ that allows wordpress to make changes 
   to invalid code, but alas still the problem…

 * It’s not coming up with any errors. It just provides the link instead of showing
   the news articles.
 * I’ve just tried adding the java script to the header file and used the text plugin…

 * Thanks guys – I’ve tried to follow those steps but I’m getting to the end of 
   my technical knowledge, so I’m going to see if its a known issue with the theme
