Correction: I was wrong in my previous post about the “iframe” tags I was using. At least I’m disciplined enough to examine the most obvious culprit first, regardless of the fact I thought for sure they didn’t break anything.

So for me anyways… the page (including sidebar and footer) are broken when iframe is used.

It might be that there’s nothing inherently wrong with iframe (other than it’s non-standard microsoft origin) but it appears that the WordPress html editor fumbles up the closing portion of the iframe tag, removing the word iframe and leaving nothing but a forward slash and greater-than bracket. This in turn leaves the browser to believe that the rest of the page is part of the iframe, and since my iframe has a static non-scrolling size, I did not see the rest of the page displayed inside the iframe. My iframes were generated automatically by Amazon.com associate links.

If you are not using iframe, check the html view of your post(s) and see if the editor has jumbled something up for you. I have also noticed a simple line break tag getting messed up while investigating this, and I suspect the true problem is either with WP 2.0 or with the way the post is stored in the database, since care must be taken when storing html in a MySQL database.

Devs: address?

Hope this helps someone, I might be wrong about some of the above, but at least for me, I have my fix and finished logging time on it. 🙂 If other tags are botched, I’ll have to ditch WP 2.0 Good luck.
