 * Hi. I’m trying to use some html and javascript in a post…
    My ultimate goal is:
   There is a picture in my post. When you move the mouse over the nose of the person
   in the picture, i want the picture to change… all pretty basic stuff with image
   maps and javascript. I have the htmp/javascript/image map Only, when I put it
   at the top if a post… wordpress mangles it, and it doesn’t run properly. What
   i’m trying to use is: [http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=17059](http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=17059)
   Can anyone help? -Geoff

 * Try disabling “wptexturize” filter in /wp-includes/vars.php
    on line 185, comment
   out as below: `//add_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');`

 * Under Options->Writing, do you have “WordPress should correct invalidly nested
   XHTML automatically” UNCHECKED?
    Also try using the markdown plugin. I did those
   plus removed the filter and it works for me!
