  I’m well aware of the aversion wordpress.com has towards javascript and the code I speak of doesn’t have any visible at least to my eyes. I am however attempting to add a code to embed a folder or widget from an online sharedrive (http://4shared.com) into a post. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get it working.

  First I added it to the post’s body using the HTML editor. Once I clicked Save Draft and switched back to Visual, It showed for a split second and then disappeared. I then did the opposite by adding it to the Visual editor, saved the draft, viewed the post but that was unsuccessful as well.

  Here’s the code I’m trying to add:

  Embedd folder ~
  <iframe marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src=http://www.4shared.com/dir/10200229/497abf4c/Jackson_5.html?dirembed=true frameBorder=0 allowtransparency=true width=840 height=600></iframe>

  Any suggestions or is it just not going to work? I could even be satisfied with the widget from 4shared working within a text widget if that could happen as I’ve tried that as well with no luck:

  Widget ~
  <iframe marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src=http://www.4shared.com/minifolder/10200229/497abf4c/Jackson_5.html scrolling=no width=200 height=200></iframe>

  As always, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

  Iframes are always stripped out, as are a whole host of other things.

  @raincoaster – Thanks for the quick response. I was only aware of javascripting being stripped out. Good info to know for the future.

  @thesacredpath – So, if I am reading the link you provided correctly, if I use the sourcecode wrapping:

  [sourcecode language='css']

  your code here

  [/sourcecode]

  I might be able to see the folder or widget?

  No. The sourcecode short code is meant to allow the code to be displayed in the blog. In other words, it tells the browser NOT to execute the code.

  Understood. Thanks to you both for the enlightenment. I guess I will have to either wait for 4shared to create something compatible or just use links as I have been doing all along.
