Embedding an iframe in a post: Updating the post makes the iframecode disappear.

    Hello,

    I would like to know if it is impossible to embed an iframe in a post in order to show materials from other websites..

    If I try to do something of this kind, after inserting the code in a post and clicking on Update, WordPress authomatically delete the code I have put in the post.

    For exmaple, in order to show in a post a an iframe showing books digitized by Internet Archive, following the instructions contrained at http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader I should be able to put a code of this kind, for example:

    <iframe src=”http://www.archive.org/stream/abroadcranethoma00craniala?ui=embed#mode/2up/page/18″ width=”450px” height=”400px”></iframe>

    This is the example provided at http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader

    But as I said, it doesn’t work: clicking on Update gives as a result that the line of code disappears from the post.

    So my question is: is embedding an iframe something that WordPress does’t make available?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Regards

    Pierfranco
