 * For some reason I cannot use Java script or the EMBED action in the HTML editor,
   when posting a new post or page in WordPRess.
 * It seems like the Java script / EMBED are blocked by the HTML editor.
 * Is there any way to reolve this issue?

 * If you are putting code in your posts – never ever use the wysiwyg editor. Not
   even the popup html “editor”. It just doesn’t work. wysiwyg is for html-illiterate
   users.
    And about JS see the Codex: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript)
