13314,HTML is deleted when switched to visual editor,BH8489,azaozz,"Several ""advanced"" (or more appropriately, specific) HTML and CSS customizations inserted in the WordPress editor are removed when the post or paged is switched to visual editor view.

This old post, [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3311] , seems to be targeting a similar point, but I disagree with it, in that HTML shouldn't be added in the visual editor.  When HTML is added in the HTML editor, however, it should not disappear when the post edited using the to visual editor.

For example, if there is an intro paragraph of plain text, followed by an iframe, flash embed, then table... the iframe, possibly flash, and table will all (rightfully so) need to be created with the HTML editor.  Say the administrator puts these enhancements on the page; another end user should be able to edit the paragraph of plain text in visual editor without the iframe, flash, and table being removed from the page.  While it would be understandable for the iframe etc. to be replaced with a (?) symbol of some kind in the backend, the code should remain in the HTML viewer, and therefore on the front end pages.

HTML affected includes iframes, certain attributes like colspan in tables, various CSS markup, and pretty much anything that can't be accomplished using the visual editor.",defect (bug),closed,normal,3.5,Editor,,normal,fixed,,stillrivercreative jond3r@…
