 * Hi everybody,
    my posts contain html code: <div class=”whatever”> … </div>. Unfortunately
   WP ignores the class attribute when displaying the post. When I look into the
   DB the post looks alright, but the html source only contains <div> … </div> (
   without the class attribute. What is the reason? Thanks and best regards, MiPi

 * Is it possible that you’ve stuck the **class=”whatever”** in the wrong area in
   the template, such that it gets stripped out by PHP?
 * That would be the first place I’d look.

 * Problem is solved with upgrade to WP 2.07
    Thanks!
