  If the code is correct, it will be interpreted rather than shown. If the code has a mistake, it will not be interpreted, it will be shown. If the code is something that is not allowed here at wordpress.COM, then wordpress will strip the code out.

  Javascript, flash, iframes and forms are not allowed here at wordpress.COM due to security concerns, and we are also limited in the plain HTML that we can use. http://support.wordpress.com/code/
